However, the Gulf is the only approach, or entrance point, from the Indian Ocean to the Suez, correct?
Think about it this way; the coast of Texas is 1,600 miles from the Panama Canal; wouldn't you find an article claiming an earthquake just off Texas "shook up residents at the entrance to the Panama Canal" rather ridiculous?"

Although, it isn’t necessary for ships to pass through Texas to get to the Panama Canal.
