The Houthis (Ansar Allah) will begin to target major United States oil companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron, ending a ceasefire with President Donald Trump’s administration that was brokered by Oman last May.
On September 30, the Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center (HOCC), which liaises between Houthi forces and commercial shipping operators and is associated with the Houthi military, sanctioned 13 US companies, nine executives and two vessels.
Entities designated by the Houthis “shall be dealt with in accordance with the principle of confrontation,” HOCC said in a statement published on its website.
The announcement is a clear notice that the listed companies are deemed hostile entities that are open to attack by the Houthis.
The Houthis targeted over 190 ships with links to Israel, the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean since their campaign began nearly two years ago in response to the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. Two ships were sunk and another was seized in the first phase of the campaign.
The U.S. responded by forming a coalition to guard shipping in the Red Sea and launched strikes against Yemen. However, Trump announced in May that the U.S. would stop bombing the Houthi, saying that the group had agreed to stop attacks on shipping lanes in the Middle East.
Under the agreement, neither the U.S. nor the Houthis would target the other, including U.S. ships in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, Oman said in a statement at the time.
Amid the ceasefire, specifically in July, the Houthis sank two ships in the Red Sea. The ships had no links to the U.S., it didn’t respond.
The HOCC’s latest announcement came after the Houthis attacked a Dutch cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden on September 29, injuring two crew and leaving the ship ablaze and adrift.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that their military operations are ongoing and will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted,” Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said in a statement claiming responsibility for the attack.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces also affirm the continued imposition of a maritime navigation ban on the Israeli enemy in the Red and Arabian Seas, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden, and reiterate their warning to all companies and vessels against violating the previously announced ban,” he added.
The announcement clearly marks the end of the ceasefire with the U.S. Trump will not likely respond until the Houthis actually attack a U.S. ship. However, considering the cost and ineffectiveness of the U.S. past campaigns in Yemen, it is highly unlikely that more strikes will yield any meaningful results.

the yemenis are the only worthy arabs, unlike the rest of the bend over for israel, psionist enslaved, closeted sissis in the rest of the arab world and turkey. not only do they do nothing meaningful to stop innocent women, children and babies being killed and starved gaza, but those arab scumbags actually use their military to protect israel from incoming drones and missiles from yemen.
even egipt dont supply gaza fighters with manpads, fpv drones or atgm to defend arab population in gaza
because the “egyptian” president al-sissi is in fact a joo. his mother is a morrocan joowess – so it is clear that a muslim country run by a jooish agent, isnot helping gaza fighting against joozish attacks. egypt people need to first kill al sissi, then things will change immediately !!
finally the houthi publicly recognize who is forcing war upon them. when iran joins the central banker led oil corporations will lose many more market positions.
the flow of oil, energy and currencies creates unimaginable wealth for the very select who control its distribution. they will not share . all the us current us military tanker regional deployments suggest an invasion. all the missiles, planes and bombs together will not win control of yemen and iran
usa laughs at yemeni goatfuckers!!!
how about to see gerry ford burining in bab al-mandab strait? if only somalia and djibouti are free from pathogenic zio influence that’d be whole new story. even now, they’re heck affraid of yemen.
go houthis!
a lot of this deployment of tankers is for show…but is definitely part of a coming attack. this time, there will be massive israeli and u.s. attacks on both iran, yemen, lebanon and likely iraqi resistance. there is also the possibility that other u.s. allies will join in, as this is make or break for all concerned. this will however most likely be the last attack on iran…one way or another. azerbaijan, turkey, armenia, ksa and all the western flunkies will be under scrutiny as well.
as this will be make or break, any other countries involved will be attacked as well. they are going to throw the kitchen sink at iran and the resistance. they have to crush them this time around or face complete failure. this is not unknown to iran, they expect this. all of which means a fireworks display unseen before. hopefully iran takes out, not damages, every israeli/u.s. base in the area. this is a must, not an option. watch venezuela too.
russia should give them everything and also give maduro long-range missiles to blow up the fat ass coward trump hiding in his shitty shelter
