According
to the newspaper, it takes two weeks for a ship to reach from the port of Dubai
to the port of Ashdod. Due to the Houthi threat, major shipping companies have
announced redirecting their vessel traffic around Africa, and this rerouting,
according to estimates, will extend the journey by a month, Khaberni reported.
On
Monday, The Guardian reported that the
US Department of Defense, the Pentagon,
will announce the establishment of a special maritime protection force for the
Red Sea.
This
comes amid the escalating military operations by the Houthi group in Yemen
towards ships sailing in the Red Sea destined for Israeli occupation.
The
Guardian explained in its report that the force to be formed by the United
States to protect the Red Sea will be named "Guardian of Prosperity."
The
newspaper clarified that the
American Red Sea protection force will work to
secure shipping, the Bab el Mandeb Strait, and ships passing through it from
Houthi threats.
