[Regnum] Yemen's Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement attacked the American ship Star Iris in the Red Sea, said movement spokesman Yahya Saria
“The Yemeni navy fired anti-ship missiles at the US ship Star Iris in the Red Sea. The hit was direct and accurate,” explained a representative of the movement.
Prior to this, on February 6, members of the Ansar Allah movement fired six anti-ship missiles at two commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
It was noted that three missiles, one of which was shot down by an American destroyer, were fired towards the Greek cargo ship MV Star Nasia flying the flag of the Marshall Islands. As a result of the attack, the ship received minor damage.
As the Pentagon said at the time, three more missiles fell into the water near the British merchant ship MV Morning Tide.
Following the attack, American and British troops carried out strikes on Ansar Allah targets in Hodeidah province in Yemen.
As Regnum reported, on the night of January 11-12, the United States and Britain, as part of an international coalition, began a military operation in Yemen. They used cruise missiles for attacks. Washington and London said the attack was in response to Houthi attacks on ships off the Yemeni coast.
On February 3, the United States, with the support of Britain, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, attacked 36 targets in 13 locations in Yemen.

It appeared to be the first time the Houthis have targeted an Iran-bound vessel since starting attacks on international shipping in solidarity with Paleostinians over the Israel-Hamas

, shipping sources said.
A US defense official said it was likely that the ship had been targeted but not hit, but provided no further comment. Earlier reports by maritime specialists suggested the vessel may have been damaged but that there were no casualties.
The Houthis identified the vessel as the Star Iris. The group’s military front man, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement the ship was American but maritime shipping trackers said the Marshall Islands-flagged ship was Greek-owned.
The Star Iris had been transporting corn cargo from Brazil to Iran, according to ship tracking analysis from data and analytics group Kpler.
"The Star Iris, like every Iran-bound bulker, had not diverted away from the Red Sea, perhaps unafraid of attacks from Iran-backed Houthis who could be considered ’friendly’ given the vessel’s destination," said Ishan Bhanu, lead agricultural commodities analyst at Kpler.
"It was carrying corn from Brazil. At a projected 4.5 million tonnes for this year, flows from Brazil make for the majority of Iran’s corn imports."
A regional security official said the attack appeared designed to "show Iran

The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

does not control the Houthis and they act independently," but that the Houthis had informed Tehran in advance.
British maritime security firm Ambrey and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said early on Monday that a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greece-owned bulk carrier had been targeted by missiles in two incidents while passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Ambrey said the bulker had reportedly suffered damage to its starboard side after sighting a projectile near the vessel 23 nautical miles (43km) northeast of Djibouti’s Khor Angar and 40 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Mokha.
Ambrey said the bulker was reportedly headed to Bandar Imam Khomeini, one of Iran’s biggest ports and a major grains terminal. UKMTO said the crew was unharmed and the vessel was proceeding to its next port of call.
