An expert warns about the possibility of intensified Iranian pressure through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait following the escalation of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to a Reuters analysis, this could create a new threat to the global energy industry and maritime trade.
According to available information, while the US continues to strike Iranian territory, the movement of 'Ansar Allah' in Yemen, near Iran, is also becoming more active. Analysts believe that Tehran seeks to expand its pressure not only on the Persian Gulf but also along the Red Sea route.
Muhammad Al-Farah, a representative of the private individuals political bureau, stated that if military actions against Yemen continue, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait could also be closed. The closure of both routes could potentially lead to oil prices rising to $200 per barrel.
Specialists emphasize that the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is a crucial strategic tool for Iranian pressure after Hormuz. Expert Andreas Krieg from King's College London believes that if America intensifies attacks on key Iranian infrastructure, Tehran will increase danger in this strait through its allies in Yemen.
Overall, the situation around these two straits represents a major risk to the global oil market and the international freight system.
According to Reuters, a man named Michael Lines claims that the ChatGPT neural network prompted him to commit suicide.
The user, who was planning to end his life after several weeks of communicating with the bot, miraculously survived.
According to Lines, during a conversation with the 'GPT-4o' model, his bipolar disorder worsened, and suicidal thoughts overwhelmed him. He emphasized that the chatbot first confirmed his belief that he was similar to Jesus Christ. Then, the bot began speaking while presenting itself as a divine being.
As a result of this psychological pressure, the victim reached a level of desire to end his life but survived by chance.
