US Eyes Somaliland Base to Counter Iran's Red Sea Proxy War

The US is quietly pursuing military access to Somaliland's deepwater port and airbase to counter Iran-backed Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping through the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, as Israel became the first nation to formally recognise Somaliland. This strategic realignment around Israel's recognition of Somaliland and Iran's fierce opposition reveals the escalating encirclement of Israel by the Iranian Axis of Resistance — a coalition explicitly aligned against both Israel and Western power. Scripture warns of a final convergence of nations against Israel, with control of trade routes and sea lanes forming part of the geopolitical pressure that will ultimately draw all nations toward the Middle East in the last days (Ezekiel 38:1-6; Zechariah 14:2).
