A strait that connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. In Arabic, it is called the Strait of Tiran. In 1967, the strait was closed by Nasser, who was the president of the United Arab Republic at the time, which led to the outbreak of the Third Arab-Israeli War. At the time, Israel was not allowed to pass through the Suez Canal, and this was its only sea route to Asia, so the cutting off of this lifeline was justification for the start of the war. Lobsters are a local specialty. [Yoshimura Sakuji] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
紅海とアカバ湾を結ぶ海峡。アラビア語ではティーラーン海峡Maḍīq Tīrān。1967年当時アラブ連合共和国の大統領であったナーセルによってこの海峡が封鎖されたため第3次中東戦争が勃発した。当時スエズ運河通行が許されていなかったイスラエルとしてはアジアとの唯一の海上交通路だったため,生命線を断たれたことが開戦の正当化につながった。ロブスター(イセエビ)が特産。【吉村 作治】
