Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted a commercial cargo ship Monday in the Red Sea whose final destination was an Iranian port, the U.S. military said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Houthis fired two missiles from Yemen toward the Bab al-Mandeb Strait sometime between 3:30 a.m. and 3:45 a.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The terrorist fighters targeted the MV Star Iris, a Greek-owned, Marshall Islands-flagged ship traveling in the Red Sea from Brazil, U.S. Central Command said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The vessel’s final destination was Bandar Iman Khomeini, Iran, a port city in the Persian Gulf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The ship reports being seaworthy with minor damage and no injuries to the crew,” Centcom posted on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Houthis have been backed by Iran and have threatened cargo shipping in and around the Red Sea in recent months as retaliation against Israel over its war with Hamas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
