There was an article in Reuters today that mentions an important event sermingly ignored by the majority of press outlets. A Turkish ship carrying Russian wheat was hit by a land based missile. The reporting sources say this was likely not intentional which seems odd. There are not too many guided missiles that hit targets accidentally. The missile didn’t fire without someone having a target locked on. If that ship wasn’t the target, what was?
The Houthis are the usual suspects, but they will not last long in this world firing missiles at ships in international waters. There is too much oil floating around in that area to allow them to sink one of them. It is enough that they fire at the Saudi Aramco facilities.
Iran will not be able to help them if the continue down this path. Nobody messes with big oil. Everyone needs it and there is not enough to go around. Any group that thinks it can disrupt those supplies will find themselves in trouble.
