The Pentagon on Thursday blasted Houthi rebels for striking an oil tanker and creating an “environmental disaster” in the Red Sea after the merchant vessel was lit ablaze with a million barrels of crude oil on board.
Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters the Houthis striking the Greek-owned merchant vessel Sounion on Wednesday was threatening a “catastrophe” in Yemen’s backyard.
“That is an environmental disaster that they are going to have to deal with,” she said, also slamming the group’s motives in the attack. “What exactly does this accomplish? They said they were launching these attacks to help the people of Gaza, not sure how that helps anyone in Gaza.”
The Houthi attack on the Sounion sparked a fire that was extinguished, but it also led to engine failure, forcing the crew to evacuate to Djibouti.

Houthis and supporters
Egypt revenue at risk so their military should be dealing with Houthis.
Right. They blow up a multi million dollar vessel full of millions of dollars worth of petroleum, and all they can say is that those naughty Houthis causes an environmental disaster. In terms of the earth itself the disaster is tiny. The oul will get absorbed by the ocean and the ship will sink to the bottom of the sea and a year from now nobody will even remember and there will be very little evidence that anything ever happened. Stick to the important stuff: they blew up a ship, they get blown up.
Yet China…
Send them a strongly worded letter! Send them a strongly worded letter!
U.S. taxpayers will be forced to pay for the cleanup, that's what it accomplished.
