A terrifying video shows the moment Iran-backed Houthi
rebels have stormed a cargo ship part-owned by an Israeli
tycoon.

Footage filmed by the rebels shows them approaching the
Bahaman-flagged 'Galaxy Leader' ship in the southern Red
Sea via helicopter yesterday, with several heavily-armed
fighters being dropped off on deck.

The cargo ship travelled south past the Arabian peninsula
on its way to India. It is registered under a British company
which is partially owned by Israeli tycoon Abraham Ungar and
is currently leased out to a Japanese company, according to
reports.

The Houthi rebels approached the bridge with their weapons
drawn as crew members on the bridge can be seen holding up
their hands in surrender. One of the fighters was filmed
walking through the ship while shouting 'Allahu Akbar'.

This comes as the ship's owner, Isle of Man registered Galaxy
Maritime Ltd, said that the vessel is now in the Hodeidah
port in Yemen.

.. . .

Anyone who thinks Yemeni terrorists are crude hicks
should watch the vid. It was all very professional
and smooth. Big helicopter swoops in over a flat
section of the deck and a bunch of heavily-armed
Houthi's jump out and storm the bridge.

Now where did they get the money and training ? IRAN
of course. The Houthi's are one of their proxy armies
just like Hezbollah and Hamas.

Joe just gave Iran umpteen zillions from a frozen
bank account just last week. Guess what it bankrolled ?

The bigger picture is that a HUGE amount of the worlds
commerce comes through two waterways - the Red sea
and Persian Gulf. Both have narrow entrances. Iran CAN
close off the Persian Gulf ANYTIME it wants, and their
Houthi proxies CAN do pretty much the same for the
Red Sea ANYTIME they want.

And no, it doesn't have to be a "military defense" level
of action. Take out a couple of tankers and/or those giant
cargo ships and the COMMERCIAL INTERESTS and their INSURERS
will say "Nope ! Not Us !" and stay the hell AWAY no matter
what govt/mil assurances.

It does not take huge missiles/drones/shells to ruin one
of those giant cargo ships. Punch a few holes and start
a fire. Iran has its drones - now jet-powered - like it
sells to the Russians and also things better fitting the
"cruise missile" definition. They blasted the shit out a
huge Saudi oil facility just a couple years ago ... there
were videos, perfectly choreographed drones swooping in.
Even ordinary artillery could play a role, the entrances
to the waterways ARE narrow enough.

This gives Iran the potential to exert a LOT of power
with relatively minimal effort. If you think things
are tight in Europe now, just wait until no ships
come through Suez, no tankers through the Strait Of
Hormuz. Wouldn't take long - the EU has been teetering
and ONE MORE KICK might collapse things.

Oh, that'd also gives PUTIN a big op ... don't think HE
isn't involved here.
