Housts Seize Cargo Ship with Link to Israeli Company

Houthis seized a British-owned and Japanese-operated cargo ship in the southern Red Sea, accusing it of being an 'Iranian act of terrorism' with consequences for international maritime security. Israel accused the Housts of seizing a ship with a link to an Israeli company. Japan's top government spokesperson condemned the act and warned of targeting ships owned or operated by Israeli companies or carrying the Israeli flag. The U.S. is monitoring the situation.
