According to the Yemen government, a ship belonging to the Greek shipping company had more than 17,000 tons of ammonium nitrate – slightly inflammatory and environmentally friendly chemical, which is used both in fertilizers and explosives. It fell shortly after the attack. Huti-Milis in Yemen admitted and described the ship as a “legal goal”, because he allegedly had ties with Israel.
The other ship was attacked only one day after this attack: “Eternity”, massive cargo feathers, also driving under the Liberian flag. It was under heavy fire from small boats and drones loaded with explosives. Two crew members received serious injuries, two more were missing. The bridge and cars of the ship were damaged, so now it cannot maneuver in the sea.
After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, the Israeli military launched an offensive in Gaza, after which the advance against Hisball in Lebanon in 2024 followed. The conflict over the Palestine region began at the beginning of the 20th century.

During negotiations on the ceasefire in gas
There are strategic reasons why Hutis again attacks the ship after a long break. The attack was made only one day after the leader of the Lebanese police of Hisbollah with a cassemin, causing an explanation: disarmament according to the gunsmith, which in November 2024, at least partially laid an end to the war between the hissball and Israel, rejected aviation. Like Hutis, Hisbollah is significantly supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In addition, indirect negotiations between the Iranian Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Israel are currently being held. US President Donald Trump plans to conclude a transaction to stop fire this week, during which the hostages of Israel should be released.
With their attacks, Hutis wants to create pressure, in the sense of their proclaimed support for the Palestinians. And again, show that after the Israeli war against Hisbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gas, they are the strongest element of the “resistance axis” of the Islamic Republic. Despite the fact that the United States and Great Britain held a wide campaign against Hutis in the spring.

Thirdly, consistent attacks remind the world that Iranian, although weakened by a 12-day war with Israel-style, has a certain, at least indirect control over the “pressure points” in the strategic organs. Through Hutis Tehran sends a message: he is still authorized to incite the riots and the danger of the interests of the Western.
Alarm bells calls when transforming experts
In television speech, the leader of the rebel Abdul-Malik al-Khuti now boasted: his fighters attacked almost 190 ships since November 2023, which had ties with Israel, the USA or Great Britain. While most of these ships were only damaged or forced to change the course, the magic seas have now fallen in the waters of Yemen. This forces alarming bells to call in the case of circulating experts. For example, ammonium nitrate, with which the magic seas were well loaded, is a serious threat to the sea fauna and fishing on the west coast of Yemen.
The international recognized government of Yemen immediately condemned the attacks. Information Minister Moammar al-Erani warned: Huis’s aggression not only destabilized the region. They also forced Yemen to appear before an unsuccessful state, which probably isolates the population and more difficult for future reconstruction.
After attacks, the American sea forces in the Red Sea were brought to wariness. In London, UKMTO (British Marine Trade operations) follows attacks. According to reports, several security companies called on ships to change their route or stay away from the Yemen coast of at least 100 naval miles.

Israel reacted immediately: bombing of fighter aircraft on Monday, the position of Khutis in the port city of a course. According to reports, they also met with the leader of the galaxy – a cargo ship, which was captured by Hutis in November 2023 and transformed into a floating radar platform. According to Yemen’s civil servants, the ship was used to monitor and geolocalization of trading ships, which took place of Mandaba meters.
Relations with jihadist groups in Africa
It should be noted that the good relations of Khuti with jihadists and armed groups are based on the horns of Africa, including Somali Ash Shabaab and militias in East Africa. This can be even more under the threat of delivery to the Red Sea. Majed al-Madhaji, director of the Sana Strategic Research Center, says: “Hutis has become a financial and material and technical center for extremist groups in the entire region. In some cases, they even affect the market of informal weapons in Africa and set prices for small and medium -sized weapons. ” He warns of such integration that he could undermine international efforts to combat terrorism and make Hutis a strong regional force that increases instability in the region.
While the war continues to smoke in Yemen, the water near the coast of the country will again become a line of the front, on which local subjects transmit global messages.
