Iran Seizes Oil Ship in Gulf of Oman; UNSC Demands Houthis Stop Attacking Vessels in Red Sea

HeadlineJan 11, 2024

Iran says its forces have seized an oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman. This comes as tensions have been soaring for weeks in the Red Sea. On Wednesday, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling for Yemen’s Houthi forces to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. The vote came a day after U.S. and British forces shot down 21 drones and missiles fired by the Houthis, who have vowed to continue attacks until Israel halts its assault on Gaza.
