Is Iran planning a blockade of the Red Sea? A cargo vessel has reported coming under attack in the Red Sea near Yemen, triggering fresh security concerns along one of the world's busiest shipping routes. According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the ship issued a distress alert after reporting an attack by unknown armed assailants approximately 30 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah. Although no group has claimed responsibility and officials have not identified the attackers, the incident has renewed attention on Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who have carried out numerous attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea since late 2023. #RedSea #Yemen #Houthis #UKMTO #BreakingNews #MaritimeSecurity #cargoship Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
