Yemen’s Houthis say they carried out missile and drone strikes on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea after declaring a maritime embargo on the kingdom. In a statement posted, the Houthis said that they “carried out a qualitative military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers that violated the blockade”, naming the vessels as the Encelia and the Layla. As we reported earlier, the UK’s Maritime Trade Operations organisation said that it had received reports of a tanker being struck 70 nautical miles (130km) from Saudi Arabia’s town of Al Shuqaiq.

The Banana strait is more open than ever. Free trade carries on. Capitalism is so incredibly beautiful. 🥹

IRGC-BACKED HOUTHIS CLAIM A MISSILE AND DRONE ATTACK ON SAUDI OIL TANKERS ENCELIA AND LAYLA IN THE RED SEA, CAUSING MAJOR FIRES.

ship just went boom

Bab Al-Mandab Strait is officially closed! The Houthi controlled Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a major military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers, ENCELIA and LAYLA, alleging that both vessels violated the maritime restrictions imposed by Yemen's Armed Forces. According to the statement, the operation was carried out using multiple ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and one-way attack drones. The statement did not immediately provide details on the extent of the damage or the condition of the vessels.

Not how it works, read the rules

Houthi ISIS terrorists have threatened to target Saudi Arabia ships but not yet other countries. Even if they follow through that is likely more than 10 ships that would pass in. Also 3 more days until July is free bond N.

what the fuck are you on about? ISIS are a US asset. Houthis are aligned with Iran, retard.

houthis talk a lotta shit but i don't think they got hands to close it to less than 10 for a 7dma

This aged well

Best guess is likely no. Lowest recorded value in recent years is 25.1. It happened when Houthis were targeting commercial vessels using very loose criteria. They don't control the strait anyway and probably can't afford to piss off every major world power.

The Houthis prevented four Saudi oil tankers carrying around 5 million barrels of crude from departing today.

Went up to 6 ships

trump confirmed. TRUMP ON HOUTHI BLOCKADE: WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS

Bruh bruh. Read the statement, blocade just saudi. Full closure is being saved for Iranian infrastructure targeting

well thank you for helping our side

Until houthis HIT a ship this + oil will not react imo

Houthi militants in Yemen on Monday declared a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia effective immediately, threatening to exacerbate the oil supply disruption triggered by Iran’s attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.

The Yemeni Armed Forces announce the prohibition of maritime navigation by the criminal Saudi enemy under the principle of "blockade for blockade." This decision enters into force from the moment this statement is issued.

Things are heating up

Why this didnt Sky rocket yes

there's doubts about the Houthi's willingness/capacity to deliver and also how long it might take. I think the current prices are probably fair.

I see thanks

I reckon it will jump as soon as a boat gets touched

Iranian media is saying that the US targeted power plants, which was their red line for having the Houthis close baba ganoush

BREAKING: A source close to Iran's Ghalibaf says Yemen has begun blocking the Bab el-Mandab Strait, with initial warnings issued to passing ships in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandab. He says, in the past 48 hours, two Iranian strikes on two ships off Oman's coast, additional warning shots, and one ship seized have been carried out, and a new formation has been established on the opposite side of Bab el-Mandab. The decision will be made at "zero hour."

Babel Man Boob

The US has just struck a key Iranian road bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to other cities inland, dropping it into the Shur River. The strike has killed at least 2 people, injured 4, and caused power outages in the area.

Hormuz letter is the source of this news.

IRAN BREAKING Iran has directly instructed the Houthis to fully close the Bab el-Mandeb strait, with the Houthis having completed all operational preparations including deploying missiles and drones near the Strait, and are waiting for US strikes on Iranian power infrastructure to carry it out, per Reuters citing two senior Iranian sources.

Iran would be economic terrorist if they dual shut off strait. But at least the good side is there would be a new market similar in Hormuz returning to normal.

They will. Iran will follow through. Its the only chance they have to bring down the west

BREAKING: Iran says if the US attacks again, it would withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, completely change its nuclear doctrine, and fully close both the Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz, per an Iranian Parliament National Security Commission spokesperson.

More dates please!!

Can we get Oct through 2027?? More dates

Guys June 15 can not resolve YES, 70 ships already passed

“From the Strait of Hormuz to Bab al-Mandab, and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, a new security belt of the resistance will be formed,” IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani said in a message on Monday.

Grok: only a small handful (likely 2–5, or under 5% of the total) [of ships the Houthis attacked in 2023 and 2024] had clear, direct Israeli ownership, operation, or flag connections. The overwhelming majority of ships attacked by the Houthis had no actual Israeli links at all.

Jun 8, 2026 (Bloomberg) –The Houthis, an Iran-backed militant group that controls much of Yemen, declared a ban on Israeli ships in the Red Sea, threatening a key bypass route to the Strait of Hormuz. “We declare a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation,” the group said Monday in a statement. “We consider all enemy movements to be legitimate military targets for our armed forces.”
