Major global shipping firm Hapag-Lloyd told the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday that it has no plans to return to the Red Sea. The statement from Hapag-Lloyd comes after the Yemeni Armed Forces threatened Israeli shipping in an official Yemen Press Agency statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

The threats come shortly after the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a ballistic missile directly at Israel on Monday, according to Israel National News. (RELATED: US Strikes Iran As Top Negotiators Search For War Off-Ramp)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe declare a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements to be legitimate military targets for our Armed Forces from the moment this statement is issued,\u201d the Yemen Press Agency said in the release.<\/p>\n

The White House and the Israeli Embassy in Washington\u00a0did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Pentagon and U.S. Central Command declined to comment. The State Department could not provide a comment before publication.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Yemeni Armed Forces also claimed it launched the missile against Israel as retaliation for the Greater Israel Project, the Yemen Press Agency said in the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn rejection of the Zionist project seeking to establish what is so called \u2018Greater Israel\u2019 under the name of the New Middle East, and in our endeavor to break the unjust and oppressive siege imposed by the American enemy on our people \u2026 the Yemeni Armed Forces launched a missile barrage targeting sensitive Israeli enemy targets,\u201d the Yemen Press Agency said in the release.<\/p>\n

The average monthly crossing of shipping vessels through the strait was 1,034 in March 2026, while it was over 2,000 in September 2023, according to the Lloyd\u2019s List Intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u2018One Of Our Vessels Was Attacked\u2019<\/h3>\n

The aggression of the Yemeni Armed Forces has led to a significant downturn in shipping companies\u2019 willingness to traverse the Red Sea, Hapag-Lloyd spokesperson Nils Haupt told the DCNF.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t passed the Red Sea since [the] end of 2023, when one of our vessels was attacked \u2013 and we have no plans to return anytime soon,\u201d Haupt said. \u201cMost of [the] shipping lines still avoid [the] Red Sea and go via [the] Cape of Good Hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haupt was referencing an attack on the Al Jasrah, only one of 67 incidents in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden from Nov. 19, 2023, to Sept. 2, 2024, according to the .<\/p>\n

The Red Sea and the Suez Canal are critical assets to global oil exports, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Oil is pumped via pipeline across Saudi Arabia to be exported from the Red Sea, as vessels in the Strait of Hormuz are frequently attacked by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe announcement \u2026 [from Yemeni Armed Forces] will cause every ship to think carefully about the wisdom \u200cof making \u2060a transit,\u201d Reuters reported, citing an anonymous source with ties to global shipping. \u201cThe Houthis don\u2019t have a good record of determining which ships have \u2018links\u2019 to Israel, so it\u2019s probably better to go around Africa, pay the fuel bill, and benefit from lower war risk insurance costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the enemy\u2019s attempts will fail, Allah\u2019s willing, and our operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege against us and the axis of jihad and resistance persist,\u201d the Yemen Press Agency said in the release.<\/p>\n
