In an ABC interview, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he could not predict
whether Iran will act to disrupt global trade through the Strait of Hormuz,
noting Iran has the capability but would have to weigh the consequences. He
added that if energy transit is rerouted — for example from the Strait to the
Red Sea and onward via Israeli links to the Mediterranean — the waterway would
lose strategic value, and Israel can and will remove that bottleneck.
