00:00 In a move that could be quite escalatory, the Houthi rebels have targeted a US-owned
00:06 cargo ship with ballistic missiles off the Yemen's coast, as confirmed by the US military.
00:12 The vessel, Gibraltar Eagle, sustained limited damage and there were no reported injuries.
00:18 The ship is not considered Israel-affiliated and has continued its journey in Gulf of Aden.
00:23 However, this attack is raising suspicions that what is Yemen now up to?
00:27 The Houthis that are backed by Iran have been attacking ships in the protest of Israel's
00:32 action.
00:33 The US, in response just yesterday, intercepted a missile aimed at a destroyer in the Red
00:37 Sea.
00:38 The Houthi attack is disrupting global commerce, prompting maritime alerts and leading major
00:43 companies like Qatar Energy to pause shipping.
00:46 On Monday, the world's second-largest oil company, Qatar Energy, announced its decision
00:50 to pause shipping via the route while it sought security advice.
00:54 Last week, the US and UK forces struck Houthi targets in Yemen in retaliation for the attack
00:59 on shipping routes.
01:00 The joint forces, in coordination with allies, carried out dozens of air and sea strikes
01:05 on Houthi missile launch sites and air defence systems inside Yemen.
01:09 British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also confirmed that 13 Houthi launch sites were destroyed
01:13 in the military action.
01:15 At that time, Sunak clarified that he will not speculate on future action because doing
01:18 nothing would have weakened the regional security.
01:21 The US intelligence assesses that the joint US-UK air strike on Houthi target facilities
01:25 have destroyed about a quarter of their arsenal.
01:29 But the Houthi's chief negotiator, Mohammed Abdul Salam, has told media that the attack
01:33 on Israel's ship and those heading to Israel port will continue despite US-led air strike.
01:39 The Washington has blamed Iran for being behind the Houthi missile capability, which Tehran
01:43 denies.
01:44 Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Abdel Abdelian, has said in a press conference on Monday that
01:49 the West must stop the war against Yemen immediately or the tensions will escalate.
