Chinese and Russian ships have been leaving their ID/tracking beacons on as they have transversed the area since this began. I believe the Houthis attacked a British owned ship carrying Russian oil but I know of no other incidents. As I said, our opinions and five bucks will get you a Starbucks coffee. Let’s see how the shippers and insurers handicap their odds.

There are also the grain ship and the Rubymar (UK registered, Belize flagged, carrying fertilizer to Bulgaria, IIRC), but apparently several Indian-connected ships (with nothing to do with Israel) have been targeted. In fact, the Indian response has been second only to the US. However, it appears none of the parties defending (US, UK, India, Japan, France) are in any kind of formal or overall cooperation. There HAS been cooperation at some particular incidents cooperation, however.
