Iran, Somalia and Yemen attacking International Shipping?
Apart from the established Piracy off Somalia, shipping heading too and from the Red Sea now have to contend with Yemen's Houthi rebels firing missiles and drones at ships that are suspected to have some Israeli connections and thus a new warfare front has opened coming back to haunt the United States?
With this new attack this morning off Indian waters by Iran and despite the twenty plus nation coalition commitment to police the region, the problem is spreading throughout the Muslim world over the Israel-Gaza situation and thus the cost of goods and fuel will rise in Europe on top of already existing problems?
The Houthi's have an organised military to board ships from helicopters Mil MI-17 and hijack, while U.S. naval vessels are getting struck with air to ground missiles and drones, on the other hand Iran is using long-range ballistic weapons that also threaten the Mediterranean Sea?

Will it be a Happy New Year?
The situation with Yemen is worsening and not getting any better than it was, since the Houthis are really determined to stand up to the U.S., Israel and the International coalition to show that they have the know how to do this!
Islam has a trait that other do not possess and that is know matter the cost they press on to damage and oppress who they want until they get what they want and will get something eventually when the Infidel give-in to them!
Bigger missiles and more bombing may curtail their rocket launches, but it will not end until the U.S. deal with Iran and one is not sure if Donald Trump really has the balls to do that?
Sunday 22nd December 2024.
Bombing Yemen has not stopped Them!
Israel took out much of the ports and the U.S./U.K. others key targets, but it has not stopped the attacks on shipping or the ability for the militants to launch ballistic missiles on Tel-Aviv?
The new U.S. President Donald Trump will have to deal a severe military blow on Iran and its shipping in the region, while others hit much harder and take out as much as they can, before they will defeat another elusive enemy!
Sunday 15th December 2024.
More U.S. Naval ships getting Attacked?
Meanwhile the Biden administration has learned over the past four years no longer to give away any details on attacks wither they are land based as in Iraq or at sea off Yemen!
But despite this silence they are being attacked more so now on a very regular basis and damage is being done, as much to them as merchant shipping.
Iran has discovered the weak side or flank of the U.S. and is allowing their proxy to exploit this situation with five warships and nine supply vessels damaged in twenty-one days?
Sunday 8th December 2024
Five U.S. Warships and two merchant Carriers!
This week the Yemeni militants have been busy hitting two destroyers and three U.S. replenishment ships in the Arabian sea and two cargo carriers 100 miles from Yemen in the-Gulf of Aden, with the evacuation of over forty-four crew, when the carriers started to list!
Donald Trump may be speaking peace in many places, but it is not working in the Middle-East and so the problems that Joe Biden in now creating using terrorism in Syria, will only complicate the situation and not solve it?
Sunday 1st December 2024.
Not hearing does not mean not Happening?
Many others nations ships are getting attacked in the Arabian sea and now on the borders of the Indian Ocean as the Houthies spread their net!
Both the U.S. and the U.K. claim to have hit the right targets, but with little verification on the targets, this is so hard to know?
What we do know is that Israel was able to knock out various refineries and command centers, but despite all this the drones still keep coming and Iraq is now also involved!
Sunday 17th November 2024.
Attacks on S-Israel Continue!
Despite the bombing of many targets within Yemen by both the U.K. and the U.S.A, the Houthis are continuing to launch drones against southern-Israel with impunity and one has to wonder why Saudi-Arabian air defenses are not shooting them down?
This is perhaps because the Saudis are in military cooperation now with Iran and this new alliance is anti-Israel, if not anti-western so the attacks are continuing!
It is also hard to know why the U.S. and the U.K, are not keeping up their aerial offensive, perhaps they cannot afford it, don't want to get into a war, or are more focused still on the Ukraine until the 20th January 2025?
Sunday 3rd November 2024.
Indian Ocean?
Now that Iran wants to up anti over Israel's strikes, new possibilities have opened for further afield attacks on shipping in International waters such as the Indian Ocean, while limiting any similar attacks in the home waters of the Persian Gulf!
This brings a rise in prices and insurance for the shipping companies, the Indian government and the further possibility that shipping lanes between Indonesia and Singapore be another problem?
China may just send their goods over land through Russia by rail or use the Pacific Ocean and the Panama canal to reach Africa and the biggest markets of Europe!
Sunday 20th October 2024.
U.S. B-2 Bombers take out Houthi Sites!
Despite the precision bombing, this has not stopped the drone attacks on S-Israel and the attacking of ships now out in the Indian Ocean from that of the Red and Arabian Seas and possibly further afield?
This Iranian backed faction is determined to continue and it will despite what the west is doing, because they are refusing to take the axe to the root of the problem, but only want to be seen as doing something, which in reality is nothing!
Sunday 6th October 2024.
United States, U.K. and Israel targeting Yemen?
Israel can deal a serious blow to the proxies of Iran in the region and now that three ships in one week, one of them a British tanker have been hot both in the Arabian and Red seas, something has to be done!
The question is how effective has these attacks been and what were the targets, one can be sure that Israel has dealt with Iranian interests, while the U.S. and the British perhaps only radar and missile launch sites?
The Houthies have claimed that in the war with Saudi-Arabia over two thousand strikes were made against them and they are still in business!
Sunday 22nd September 2024.
Mystery blue and white unmanned Boat!
In light of the events occurring across Lebanon, Syria and Iraq this week with a probable Israeli Mossad secret service attack, it would be of no surprise that a drone boat would be used to sink a ship off the coast of Yemen?
It was reported by the British captain, but then it seemed to move away into the red sea and disappear perhaps to the islands off Eritrea, where Israel is reported to have so called secret bases!
What is now the worry that shipping in the Med will be effected if Israel goes into Lebanon and the U.S. has stepped up with U.K. maritime patrols to see what vessels are out their.
Sunday 8th September 2024.
Slow tow of leaking crude oil Tanker?
No one cried out about this leaking tanker, because no one cares about the European and U.S. crap on global change, since it is generally seen by the developing world as another ploy to hold them back from progressing!
But eventually this tanker is being towed, as to were is still not truly known and how much damage has been done, no one seems to know?
Will we ever know, who knows and so another ecological disaster is excused by the climate activists, as they do with the war in the Ukraine too!
Sunday 25th August 2024.
Silence by Climate Activists!
Another ship, this time a crude tanker has been holed by several Houthi missiles and is leaking in the Red Sea, but very little is being said about it in the western media when it comes to the environment?
One has to wonder why nothing much is being said and that is because nothing can be said, since no one is taking any notice about it and no one can do anything about it!
That is the problem of the whole movement, it has no grounding in the Middle-East and its NGO's will be murdered, if they speak up?
Sunday 11th August 2024.
Iran claims it cannot control its Proxies?
Tehran has threatened to attack Israel, despite being warned by the U.S. it will pay a heavy price so it is now passing the buck on to its various affiliated groups and the obvious are the Houthies in Yemen!
But it could be anyone of a number in the region or an attack on Israeli and Jewish interests in Europe from the Olympics to a school or other that would hurt?
Meanwhile the attacks on shipping and U.S. naval vessels continues, but the U.S. have said nothing in reply to these claims accept that they have thwarted various drone launches towards southern-Israel!
Sunday 28th July 2024.
Israel has given the Houthies no Fuel!
The IDF did what neither the U.S. or the U.K. wanted to do and that is to uproot the Iranian backed root of evil in the region, but they were there or where they?
Now that the fuel is gone and the possibility of follow up strike on Iranian supply, the terrorist have reduced their firing of drones and missiles, but also the factions are divided over peace with each other!
Technically Israel has made an effective strike on their own and has exposed probably antisemitism is their so called allies who are really afraid of Iran and favorite weapon that works and defeats us, if we let it?
Sunday 14th July 2024.
U.S. and U.K, Divided Loyalties?
The problems lay with allied forces, who refuse to take out what is fueling these shipping attacks now spreading across the region and it is costing billions and a sixteen day plus delay in trade and the risk of loosing shipping to storms off Southern Africa!
Meanwhile attacks on missile launchers is great, but it is not effective, since the supply routes and fuel supplies are the essentials targets to stop production and Iranian support?
Sunday 30th June 2024.
Tankers being Targeted!
Time is running out for the militants in this region and this illegal carry on, since much fuel is needed in Southern-Europe and these ships are just an excuse to be attacked just perhaps for the fun of it?
It is as always the crews who have to suffer injuries or kidnap from unknown attackers and terrorists, who have their own agenda to kill, disable or ransom the crews!
Fear must not be allowed to enter ones thoughts, or we are already defeated, but trust in our Lord, or coming to the place of finding him will get us through all situations and circumstances!
Psalm 91:5, Matthew 10:26, John 3;3, 14-21, Romans 3:23.

U.S. Navy and more ships getting Hit?
Very little information on exact strikes are being revealed, but a U.S. Destroyer was hit and also a Greek ship evacuated after the crew were injured.
Both the U.K. and U.S. have continued to bomb Houthi positions with some recent major successes, but with new Iranian fronts now opening off Cyprus this war is about to spread to another sea area?
It appears that the U.S. leadership is weak to deal with Iran and thus the prices of goods coming from China are going up, perhaps the Pacific Ocean and the Panama canal will be better in the long run!
Sunday 2nd June 2024.
Over 100 vessels attacked!
This weekend we have seen four civilian ships hit by Houthi missiles and two U.S. Warships a destroyer and the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
Meanwhile the Houthis have kept up there missile fire on Eilat in Southern-Israel, while also using drones to attack IDF targets with some success?
These continued attacks are raising the prices of containers and many people in Europe are already doing their Christmas shopping, because of the expected hike in overseas goods!
Sunday 3rd March 2024.
British shipping targeted?
One of several ships are now listing in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, despite the efforts of the western alliance naval forces and the bombing of Houthi positions in Yemen a British vessel car carrier has sunk and it is not clear how many other ships have been hit this week!
Iran is the main supplier of missiles to these rebels and it is unlikely in the current climate if the United States would directly attack an Iranian naval or merchant vessel, apart from the occasional fishing boat?
Sunday 18th February 2024
Four more ships hit since last week
Both the U.K and Greece are now feeling the pinch with their respective ships being hit and catching fire, but the U.S. and the U.K. are turning on the pressure with some success in countering Iranian spy shipping in the area?
Africa seems to see a potential to take a financial advantage now in ships having to travel around the cape of South-Africa instead of risking the Yemeni area and the Suez canal even on an empty return!
Saturday 10th February 2024.
U.S. U.K. and a coalition have attacked Yemen!
With now and estimated fifty ships attacked in the region and four of them catching fire, the International community have had to act with bombing Yemen with some success, while the U.S, navy has downed many cruise and ballistic missiles heading for Eilat in Southern-Israel.
The United States has given Yemen a one week ultimatum to stop these piracy attacks or face some serious consequences, but it is unlikely that it will heeded by the Iranian backed Houthies since they know that the U.S. is afraid to go to war with Iran, even despite recent operations in Syria and Iraq?
