Iran-backed Houthi rebels have issued a series of threatening emails to Greek shipping companies, warning of attacks on vessels crossing the Red Sea. The warnings, which began in May, target ships violating a Houthi-imposed transit ban by docking at Israeli ports. The Houthis, acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, have carried out nearly 100 attacks on vessels since November, sinking two ships and killing four seafarers. These threats expand the risks for ships attempting to navigate the region, with significant disruptions to maritime traffic. The conflict between Yemen and Israel continues to escalate as regional tensions grow.
