The United States and the United Kingdom have launched a fierce military strike on Yemen in response to attacks on Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red Sea. Yemen’s offensive was sparked by Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza, which has claimed the lives of thousands of Palestinians. As Yemen pledges solidarity with Palestine, the conflict has forced global shipping giants to reroute their vessels, triggering a crisis in one of the world's most vital maritime trade routes. How will this conflict reshape the geopolitical landscape, and is the world on the brink of further escalation?

The Greek tanker Sounion, carrying 150,000 tonnes of crude oil, was attacked by Yemen's Houthis and is now leaking oil in the Red Sea. The Pentagon called it "reckless terrorism," disrupting global shipping and risking a massive environmental disaster. The Houthis claim the attack is in solidarity with Palestinians and have threatened rescue efforts. The US is working with partners to mitigate the impact.

The Yemeni Houthi forces have issued a severe warning to international shipping companies, urging them to steer clear of ports in occupied Palestinian territories or face dire repercussions. Following a recent anti-Israeli operation targeting a Greek-flagged oil tanker in the Red Sea, the Houthis have made it clear that any vessel violating their ban will encounter intensified actions. The armed forces have released footage of the attack and stressed that ships complying with the ban can pass safely within the operational zones of the Yemeni military. The warning underscores the Houthis’ ongoing campaign against Israeli-affiliated vessels and their broader stance in support of Palestinians.
