It comes following a string of missile and drone attacks claimed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The group has vowed to target ships in an attempt to pressure Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip.
Two of the world’s biggest shipping firms have suspended all journeys through the Red Sea following a surge of recent attacks on vessels.
Danish giant Maersk said it would “pause” all container shipments until further notice after a near-miss involving its Maersk Gibraltar ship on Thursday.
Meanwhile, German firm Hapag-Lloyd said it was also halting sailings until at least Monday after one of its ships was targeted on Friday. A spokesperson added: “Then we will decide for the period thereafter.”
It comes following a string of attacks claimed by Yemen‘s Houthi rebels in the Bab al Mandeb Strait, at the southern end of the Red Sea.
The group has vowed to target vessels which it believes are heading to and from Israel, in an attempt to put pressure on the country to stop bombing the Gaza Strip amid its war with Hamas.

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE NOT ESCORTING THEM AS WE DID IN THE PERSIAN GULF??
OH, THAT’S RIGHT..WE HAVE JOEK BIDEN

YOU FUCKING DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED
I had my vessel attacked once.
BRAD, YOU GOTTA ONE TRACK MIND!!
LOLOL
We have the technology to detect and track EVERY missile launch in the world. Every hour of every day. And we do just that. We know where EVERY missile originates. We know it’s flight path. We know where it’s going to land just about the moment it reaches it’s apex of flight. And yet we do nothing about those Houthis or any other Shiite musllims.
Shit, it’s almost like Bathhouse Barry’s dad was a Shiite and we want to help them. Oh, wait; he was, and Barry is working to help the Shiites.
We could stop the missiles launched against ships or our military installations and embassies in a minute. If our administration wanted to. But we don’t, because they don’t want to. It doesn’t fit the Left’s agenda.
Just wait till the Strait of Hormuz becomes the target zone. Oil will not be $70.00 a barrel.
JOE6, WITH THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP, NO PROBLEM
WE SANK THE IRANIAN NAVY 4/18/88 UNDER REAGAN..STARTED AT 0800, DONE IN TIME FOR LUNCH
THE GULF AND STRAITS WERE CLEAR AFTER THAT, OIL TRANSITED FREELY
NOW WE HAVE AN UNELECTED, FECKLESS AND CORRUPT ASSHOLE WHO ENABLES IRAN WITH OUR $$$$ AND THE MIDDLE EAST IS ON FIRE
WITH TRUMP, THIS SH$T WOULD NOT, REPEAT NOT BE HAPPENING
SO MANY NEED TO SWALLOW A BULLET OR OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE

Gee. Too bad we don’t have access to cheap oil in North America. FJB and the commies who control him.
It’s a Danish/German problem. Not ours, yet. If they want us to solve the problem it will cost about 1.2 Mil per Tomahawk.
That’s what Trump would do.

“… crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentation of their women.”
Palestinians and Houthis: these Satanic cockroaches need to be exterminated.
Why the World waits for our own destruction is a mystery.
