Houthi attacks in Red Sea draw EU condemnation and Russian warning

The European Union has condemned a Houthi attack on a tanker in the Red Sea as 'unacceptable,' according to a statement. A Russian diplomat separately warned of rising risks to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. Yemen's Southern Transitional Council said increased Houthi smuggling set the stage for the Red Sea blockade. Meanwhile, President Trump stated that the United States would hold Iran responsible for Houthi attacks.
