Iranian-backed Houthis kill 6 in attack on vessel

Iranian-backed Houthis killed six people in another attack on a vessel.

Summary

PBS reports Iranian-backed Houthis killed six people in an attack on a vessel, among other Middle East developments.
The Houthis have been hitting Red Sea and nearby shipping since late 2023 with Iranian weapons and training.
Crew deaths turn a 'solidarity' campaign into a body count for civilian mariners.
Insurers already price the lane as a war risk. Six more dead is another premium hike.
The same network that closes Bab al-Mandeb is the one that claims to speak for Gaza.

Do not buy the line that this is about Israel. Houthis shoot at ships because Iran built them a navy of missiles.

Six dead mariners are not a protest. They are a war crime with a press office.

The US, Israel, and Japan all need that lane open. Hit the launchers, not the talking points.
