The Wall Street Journal published on 10 July 2025 an article titled "Two Ships Desperately Tried to Fight Off Houthi Attacks. Help Never Arrived" by Benoit Faucon and Lara Seligman.
The article includes dramatic video coverage of two Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ships that Houthi rebels sank this week in the Red Sea. These attacks came two months after the United States announced a ceasefire with the Houthis following airstrikes on their positions in Yemen.
A senior US Defense Department official said Washington still considers the ceasefire to be in place so long as the Houthis are not firing at American ships.
