I wasn't aware of the name of the Strait of Yemen (aka Bab-el-Mandeb) before this war though...

But you were at least aware of that geographical feature, right?

If you're looking at the world map, it's kind of hard to ignore the shape of the Arabian peninsula and bodies of water flanking it.

Of course, yes. Just the name.
