Qatar halts LNG supplies through the Red Sea amid US airstrikes against Yemen's Houthis

The photo is illustrative.


aviation US and British strikes on Ansar Allah (Houthi) targets in Yemen led to a halt in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies from Qatar. This was reported by the international news agency Bloomberg.



After the start of military operations in Yemen, the United States and Great Britain recommended that civilian ships not take planned routes through the Red Sea. Qatar heeded the warnings of Western powers. Therefore, liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers belonging to Qatar did not follow the route. Three tankers stopped off the coast of Oman, one in the Red Sea, one in the Mediterranean Sea - not far from the Suez Canal.

Earlier, the Yemeni Houthis said that they would attack not only ships associated with Israel, but also ships belonging to the United States and Great Britain. Such actions will be taken in response to US-British air strikes on Sanaa, Hodeidah, Taiz and other cities in the part of Yemen controlled by the Houthi movement.

Qatar's decision not to send ships to the Red Sea is understandable. A sharp increase in tension in the region could lead to tankers coming under either Houthi fire or American or British air strikes. Therefore, it was decided to refrain from following the Red Sea route. Now Qatari ships will look for new ways to transport LNG by sea.

Let us recall that the Yemeni Houthis began to attack ships associated with Israel as a sign of solidarity with the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip. In response, the United States and its allies launched a military operation in the Red Sea region, ostensibly to ensure the safety of civilian shipping.

      I can’t say I’m happy, but I’m certainly satisfied with this news.
      If it lasts a month or two, or maybe even six months, the United States and Norway will need to issue a bonus to the Yemeni Houthis, and a larger one. bully

          And if I were the president, I would give the Houthis a couple of coastal missile systems. Free of charge. The costs would then be offset by oil and gas prices. And if they had gotten into a ship under the Stars and Stripes, they would have given them a bonus!

          What's the point of axes? This affected shipping only in the direction of stopping it. The mattresses won’t achieve anything with blows, and they won’t withstand a major operation, as they themselves stated.

    Bloomberg doesn’t respect himself to believe. But I want to believe in this news. There is really a little joke in the Biden administration, export licenses under Trump were issued in 49 days, under Biden 330 days. Let’s see how the traffic of LNG tankers from the USA - Europe behaves. Again the USA with energy carriers benefit. This cannot be taken away from them.

    Did the Americans defeat 30% of the Houthis? Two more such strikes, clearing the remaining 10% - and that’s it!
    For a week of work, in short. So for now the ships can stay on both sides of the entrance to the Red Sea, everything is faster than scratching around Africa, and cheaper!
    And then they will donate money to Bidon and Grisha for a monument made of gold - it will be even inexpensive, in comparison...

            Right. And who is satisfied with this state of affairs? That's right, pre-created regulated instability is important to a certain group of people from the United States in Washington in order to regulate public sentiment in the Middle East, North and East Africa. They themselves created the problem, and then create the appearance of solving it. They even bomb themselves, because the Houthis would not have the brains to create such a mess in the Red Sea under the pretext of supporting Palestine, in which, in turn, the Hamas organization was created with the participation and support of representatives from Langley. It is not entirely clear who “they” are “there” shooting at ships. But it’s worth looking at the indicators of the commodity market, especially at LNG trading, and it becomes clear who is fighting whom in the Red Sea with the help of the Houthis. And you don’t even need to open the Koran...

      However, you are a distinguished provocateur!

      Iranian journalist: American bombing of Yemen is not declared a violation of international law, unlike similar actions of the Russian Federation in Ukraine
      Some kind of suspicious horse you are.... Write the news, write to the end!
      Are you grist for the Zionist mill?

      A tanker carrying Russian oil was attacked in a misguided Houthi attack on Friday, British maritime company Ambrey said. UKMTO received a report of a missile launch 90 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni port city of Aden.

      The captain of the tanker reported that the missile fell into the water at a distance of 400-500 meters from the ship, after which three small vessels followed it. As a result of the attack, no one was injured and no damage was caused to the ship.

      Ambrey notes that this was the second time the Houthis mistakenly attacked a tanker carrying Russian oil. The Iran-backed Houthis, who control large parts of Yemen, have launched a series of attacks on Western commercial ships in the Red Sea since November 19 to protest Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.

      The United States and Britain have carried out air and sea strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen. Russia, an ally of Iran and a partner of key Arab powers, condemned the strikes and called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council.

      According to the Ambrey report, a Panama-flagged tanker spotted three boats while heading east through the International Transit Corridor and reported a missile in the water. Ambrey assesses that the vessel was mistakenly attacked based on outdated publicly available information linking the vessel to the UK."

    They also talked with Gaza - it’s a matter of a couple of months, now Netanyahu says it’s a matter of many months. So it is here - only a fool thinks about weeks of war, the mess has just begun. And four LNG tankers are standing and waiting. In short, it doesn't smell for a week.

    The whole point is that there are huge money at stake and the Yankees are pursuing
    also the global goals of subjugating the main energy-producing countries and their own selfish goals, confirming the basic formula of capitalism: nothing personal, only business.
    The option of an agreement between the mattress covers and the Yemeni Houthis has not been ruled out, since for the connecting rod - the grandfather and the Pozs who are promoting him - they are already almost a complete pessist.

      The Yankees are not benefiting from high energy prices: firstly, they need to replenish the strategic reserves that have been spent, and secondly, inflation is accelerating, and while it is at a high level, the Fed cannot lower the Fed rate, as a result, they are already spending greenbacks to service the debt more than the entire military budget!
