He asserted that Tehran\u2019s military and political capabilities \u201chave not yet been depleted\u201d despite the intensity of the strikes.<\/p>\n<p>A stranglehold on the global economy<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with the German newspaper Neue Osnabr\u00fccker Zeitung, the Green Party politician of Iranian descent explained that Tehran has the capability to paralyze international trade through its allies in Yemen. Nouripour stated, \u201cThey can close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and this would not only mean a halt to oil supplies but also a complete cessation of all goods arriving from East Asia.\u201d He added, \u201cIn doing so, they would be tightening their stranglehold on the entire global economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Houthis enter the direct confrontation line<\/p>\n<p>These warnings come amid a dangerous development on the ground; the Israeli army announced Saturday morning that Yemen had launched a missile toward Israel, the first direct attack of its kind from Yemeni territory since the start of the conflict. This escalation puts trillions of dollars\u2019 worth of global trade at grave risk, including in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which form the strategic link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of an American plan and the stability of the regime<\/p>\n<p>Nouripour criticized the Western strategy, noting that Iran\u2019s rulers had been preparing for this scenario for decades. In contrast, the United States initially appeared to lack a clear plan and now \u201cdoesn\u2019t know how to get out of this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized the absence of any indications that the core of the Iranian regime is being shaken. On the contrary, Nouripour believes that Tehran \u201cincreasingly feels capable of winning this war,\u201d benefiting from the complexities of geopolitics and its network of regional allies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Berlin, Germany \u2013 As the full-scale military confrontation against Iran enters its second month, German Parliament Vice President&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[250,18,251,252,253,57,254,255,92,256],"class_list":{"0":"post-278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-berlin","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-berlin","10":"tag-gulf","11":"tag-hormuz","12":"tag-iran","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-the-middle-east","15":"tag-trump","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-voice-of-emirates"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
