Three fires broke out on a Greek-flagged oil tanker in the Red Sea, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has reported, after Iran-backed Houthi militants attacked the vessel and its crew was evacuated. The Sounion is the third tanker owned by Athens-based Delta Tankers to be targeted by the Houthis this month. The Houthis justified the attack by accusing Delta Tankers of violating its ban on entry to “the ports of occupied Palestine,” as stated by their military spokesman Yahya Saree in a televised address. Is the war against Israel bearing any fruits ?
