World On Fire:\u00a0Houthi Rebels Targeted Two Ships In Red Sea While Iran Launched Missiles At Israel<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

As the news cycle on Tuesday\u00a0centered on Iran’s launch of 180 ballistic missiles<\/a>, including new hypersonic weapons, tensions also flared up in the Red Sea when Iran-backed Houthis attacked two commercial vessels\u2014one with an explosive-laden drone and the other with a missile.<\/p>\n

Houston-based data intelligence firm SynMax, which specializes in maritime and energy intelligence, wrote on X early Tuesday morning, “Two ships targeted by Houthis in the RedSea yesterday\u2014Panama-flagged CORDELIA MOON and Liberian-flagged MINOAN COURAGE\u2014the first such attacks since September.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SynMax noted, “Both crews remain safe.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

AP News<\/a> provided additional color on the attacks:<\/p>\n

The first attack<\/em><\/strong> took place some 110 kilometers (70 miles) off the port city of Hodeida and targeted the Panama-flagged oil tanker Cordelia Moon, the multinational Joint Maritime Information Center said. A captain on a ship saw four “splashes” near the vessel, the center overseen by the U.S. Navy said. That likely would have been missiles launched at the vessel that missed.<\/em><\/p>\n

The drone boat later damaged the Cordelia Moon, which sustained a puncture to one of its ballast tanks in the attack. Those tanks control a ship’s buoyancy. Houthi strikes in the past have targeted ships at their waterline to disable the vessels.<\/em><\/p>\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n

Another attack<\/em><\/strong> with a missile targeted a separate ship also heading north to the Suez Canal with armed security on board, Ambrey said. The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center later identified it as the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Minoan Courage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Since\u00a0October 2023, Houthi rebels have\u00a0launched over 80 attacks on commercial ships in the critical maritime chokepoint in the southern Red Sea, sinking two ships and killing four sailors.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The chaos has sparked\u00a0global supply chain<\/a> snarls for the shipping industry as commercial vessels are\u00a0rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even more concerning is the Biden-Harris administration’s failure of ‘Operation Prosperity Guardian’ to ensure freedom of navigation and maritime security in the critical maritime chokepoint.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The world is on fire because the Biden-Harris team is weak.\u00a0The world knows it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Events this week in the Middle East only suggest the conflict is broadening. Read more about the potential IDF response<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
