A Greek oil tanker is stuck in the Red Sea after it was attacked by Houthi rebels, an Iran-backed militia group that controls swathes of northern Yemen and has disrupted crucial shipping lanes in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The MV Delta Sounion has been immobilized for more than a week, making it a sitting duck for further attacks while also raising fears of an environmental disaster. The tanker was carrying the equivalent of one million barrels of crude oil.
