The attack is the first deadly incident since the start of the Iran war. The ship was reportedly struck in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a critical waterway for global trade. The Houthis, a Yemeni rebel group backed by Iran, are suspected of carrying out the attack. The Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility.

The attack comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with a separate missile strike reported in the Gulf of Oman. A container ship off the coast of Pakistan was reportedly hit by a US missile strike. The US has not yet commented on the strike. The Houthis have been involved in a long-running conflict with the Yemeni government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition.

The conflict has spilled over into the Red Sea, with the Houthis targeting ships in the strategic waterway. The Houthis have been accused of using the conflict to further their own agenda, including targeting ships in the Red Sea. The attack on the Egyptian ship is a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region and the potential for further escalation. The question remains: will the US respond to the Houthi attack?
