Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, announced that the American ship "Star Iris" was targeted with missiles in the Red Sea, and said that the attack resulted in direct hits. The US Central Command and Kepler Analytics and Data Group reported that “Star Iris” was transporting a shipment of corn from Brazil to Iran.
It is noteworthy that American and British forces launched three waves of strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen since January 12. American forces alone, from time to time, strike missiles that are said to be prepared for launch.
