Why Iran wants a Red Sea Military Base

[johnnyharris]

BTW: I made a longer video about the geopolitics of the Red Sea here. I can't paste a clickable link here so just search "Johnny Harris Djibouti" if you want to learn more about this unique part of the world.

I deployed to Djibouti, the russians ad south koreans technically have a presence there too. Kinda weird all of us being crammed in the same place. Nobody really screws with each other though

I appreciate you ended the video at the correct time instead of cutting off early like so many others

In the news. 2/3 of current shipping avoid the Red Sea and go around the Cape near Kaapstad.

I'm from Iran and I have a question 😅
Why you talk a lot about my country ❤

[wamundilanalilungwe]

You forgot to say the civil war in Sudan started after Russia was granted permission to build a Naval Base

"Italy, Germany, Japan"
Insert generic history joke here

[Honyakusha]

Türkiye also had a large military base at Somalia and protecting their coast, training their officers and helping civilians for years now.

Spooky Johnny with the geopolitics tea

[tinajsiha]

It's amazing how those countries that doesn't belong there but have their militaries placed there. Shameless.

Just subscribed, you make it make more sense than than others I've followed.

[e-curb]

No damn way the US, et al would allow Iran to build a base along there.

[Abdihakim-com]

Respect u buddy, the way you excluded Somaliland from corrupted countries ❤

I don't know why there is problem with Iran having base in Sudan, but US base okay anywhere in the world.

[kidusyared]

Surprisingly, Ethiopia might be having a naval base and a business port.

[ASVAS]

That's why we help South Sudan even when our own country in the war

[muamerblazevic]

Wtf are america France japan germany doing there anyway? I don't see any Egyptian bases in Europe. Wtf is this? I know they exist all over the world but why? What's the point?

[techgod]

Wow such an important place is surrounded by all countries filled with civil war, what a coincidence! Lmao

[Elzool_lab]

As a Sudanese person I can say it's a pride to anger the Isralis, and we didn't refuse to the offer because of that, it's just we know that iran can exploit the sudan even more, and no we don't need weapons we need more help in food delivered directly to the people not handing it to the government or to a big person to give it to people
