Houthi Demand Taxes to Pass Non-Israel Linked Ships through the Red Sea : Israel Yemen War

Recently we saw that in the economic war between Yemen and Israel, commercial ships from all over the world are being destroyed. Even after this, Israel, the US, and the UK have carried out airstrikes against Houthis in Western Yemen several times, due to which now the US, Israel, and Europe have become the biggest enemies of Houthis. But recently CENTCOM who is present in the Red Sea has also openly said that he has now failed in fighting against Houthis. Because the Houthis have advanced weapons from Iran, Russia, and China that are capable of destroying the largest aircraft and warships. But now the Houthis are working on a new profitable initiative in which they are now successful in looting and destroying ships by bringing together Somalian pirates and pirates from all the countries present in the Gulf of Aden. But now the actions being carried out by Houthis in the Red Sea are increasing the values ​​of the Iranian Chabahar and Chinese Belt and Road Corridor. Chabahar and Belt and Road are totally anti-US and anti-West, which puts pressure on Russia and Russia to fight against the Houthis in the Red Sea.

Why Houthis will Demand Taxes from all non-Israeli linked Ships?

Not only Israel-linked ships go through the Red Sea but many ships from all over the world also go through it. But now there are many stairs, corridors, and routes like Hong Kong, Singapore, Marshall Islands, Panama, and Liberia which collect taxes. But now the Houthis will also collect taxes from all Western ships that are anti-Iran and pro-Israel. Because the Gulf of Aden plays the biggest role in connecting the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, and the Persian Gulf. On the other hand, most of the world’s trade takes place through the Red Sea and Suez Canal, which also includes China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and America. But the route to the other Red Sea is considered to be the easiest and very close. But now due to the increasing attack of Houthis, the trade of the whole world has reduced by almost 80%.

Are the US and Europe fearing BRICS, Iranian, and Chinese takeover of the Red Sea?

The trade of Iran, China, India, and Russia is still running through Chabahar Port and the Chinese Belt And Road. But on the other hand, if America and Europe route all their business through Africa then there will be a daily loss of billions of USD. On the other hand, Israel, the UK, Russia, and Europe will also not be able to take much help from Iran’s Chabahar and China’s Belt and Road. But now there are some companies who want to make their agreement with Houthis so that their business does not face any problems. But even now the Houthis are giving permission to Iranian, Russian, and Chinese ships due to which European companies are also taking the help of Chinese ships.
