After Israel’s Attack on Hodeidah… Houthi Threats to Continue Targeting International Ships
In recent days, Houthi threats at sea have increased with ongoing attacks on cargo ships, amid international and regional moves to completely eliminate the Houthis‘ military capabilities, especially after the Israeli attack on Hodeidah. Airstrikes alone will not be sufficient to weaken the Houthis‘ capabilities.
Escalation of Terrorist Operations
Reports have revealed that the Houthis remain determined to continue attacking and launching missiles at ships. Iranian assistance to the Houthis has facilitated their attacks and targeting of ships in the region. The United States is working in the region to disrupt and seize weapons coming to and from Yemen.
Houthi Plan
In this regard, Yemeni political analyst Abdel Hafiz Nahari stated that the Houthis are trying to respond to Israel following the recent attack. However, the Houthi terrorist militias are incurring a significant economic cost by expanding their attacks on maritime navigation, which has had a substantial impact on supplies and shipping traffic.
The Yemeni political analyst added that these Houthi practices result in economic costs that cross borders, with direct repercussions on the Suez Canal, endangering the freedom of movement of goods and the interconnected global supply chains.
Serious Impacts
The report also noted that disruptions in the Red Sea add to those already hindering the passage of ships through the Panama Canal, the war in Ukraine affecting activity in the Black Sea, and the continuation of these disruptions in these major international maritime routes could lead to greater imbalances in global supply chains.
