 16 ships with weapons for the Houthis were blown up. Israeli media report a powerful explosion in Iran that damaged and destroyed 16 ships of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Among the most significant losses was the spy ship of this organization, which helped to plan pirate actions of the Houthis in the Red Sea. It is known that after the outbreak of another war in the Middle East, the Houthis began to attack merchant ships in the Red Sea. And this in one way or another affects the interests of more than 40 countries and disrupts almost 20% of world shipping. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a press conference with Qatar's Prime Minister, Al-Tani in Doha, these attacks have directly affected the citizens, cargo and commercial interests of more than 40 countries, disrupting or rerouting nearly 20% of the world's shipping. This means it takes longer to get goods to where they need to go. This increases the cost and these costs are passed on to consumers around the world. He said.
