Qaani threatened that if the US or Israel did escalate militarily in Gaza and Lebanon, new fronts could open, and traffic in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait could mirror the situation in the Strait of Hormuz
Qaani's threat of opening new military fronts and disrupting critical sea passages (Bab el-Mandeb, Strait of Hormuz) aligns with the Gog/Magog coalition prophecy's theme of regional powers forming hostile alliances against Israel. The emphasis on multi-front military escalation and chokepoint control reflects the geopolitical realignment described in Ezekiel 38, where allied nations threaten Israel's security and global commerce routes.
