The European Union (EU) strongly condemned the attack by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militias on the commercial ship (MINERVAGRACHT), which flies the Dutch flag in the Gulf of Aden.
Oil prices rose today, Thursday, ending a three-day losing streak, recovering from their lowest levels in 16 weeks, but expectations of increased supply from "OPEC+" next month limited the gains.

Foreign Minister, Dr. Shaya Zindani, has called for urgent international support for the government to counter Houthi militia threats in the Red Sea region.
Addressing the Munich Leaders Meeting in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Zindani stated that Houthi attacks on commercial ships and international navigation have severely impacted global trade, food security, and humanitarian aid delivery.
"The Red Sea has become a dangerous threat zone," he said, citing links between Houthi militias and extremist networks across the Horn of Africa involved in arms trafficking, human smuggling, and maritime piracy.
Dr. Zindani emphasized that any comprehensive political settlement in Yemen depends on ending Iranian interference and urged collective international action to designate Houthis as a terror organization to restore regional security and stability.
