US expresses concern after Houthi attempt on an oil tanker in Red Sea

[04/04/2018 06:05]

WASHINGTON-SABA
The United States has expressed its concern after Houthi rebels launched a failed attacked against a Saudi oil tanker in the international waters off the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Tuesday.

In a press release on Wednesday, the White House said:
The United States is very concerned about the Houthis’ latest attempt to escalate the war in Yemen, this time by attacking a commercial vessel while it transited one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, the Bab al-Mandab, in international waters. A significant portion of global trade moves through the Bab al-Mandab every day, including key energy and food supplies.

In January, the Houthis publicly threatened to attack international commercial maritime traffic in the Red Sea, and launched this attack near the vital port of Hudaydah. Yesterday’s attack coincides with the UN’s High-Level Pledging Event in Geneva, where the Saudi-led Coalition’s contributed $930 million.

In contrast, the Iranian regime continues to perpetuate the conflict and provide destabilizing weapons to the Houthis. We call on the Houthis to cease further escalation and demonstrate their commitment to a peace process by engaging in constructive dialogue.".
