News – Middle East: In a significant acknowledgment reflecting the shifting balance of deterrence in the region, a US maritime publication has admitted that Zionist aggression in Gaza is the root cause of current regional tensions — and that neither Washington nor the Zionist entity can restore stability without ceasing their attacks on Yemen and Palestine.

According to the US-based maritime outlet Freight Waves, the CEO of Maersk — one of the world’s largest shipping companies with close ties to the Zionist entity — stated that “the resumption of shipping through the Red Sea first requires ensuring a stable and lasting ceasefire in Gaza.”
This statement constitutes a direct admission that maritime security and regional stability are now inseparably linked to ending the assault on the Palestinian people.

The remarks highlight a major shift in Western economic discourse, as international companies increasingly recognize that Yemen’s naval operations are a legitimate and proportional response to Zionist crimes in Gaza — not a threat to international navigation. The Yemeni Armed Forces have consistently targeted only vessels linked to the Zionist entity or those supporting its aggression, in line with Yemen’s declared ban on Israeli-linked shipping since the onset of the Gaza war.

Analysts note two major implications of this American acknowledgment. First, it implicitly confirms that tensions in the Red Sea stem from Zionist aggression itself, and that true maritime stability depends on halting the assault and lifting the siege on Gaza — not on blaming Yemen for threatening navigation. This positions the Zionist entity as the chief instigator of regional conflict and escalation.

Second, Maersk’s CEO’s statements amount to a de facto US admission of failure in maintaining maritime dominance. Global shipping companies are increasingly skeptical of Washington’s promises of protection, especially after the Yemeni Armed Forces forced US aircraft carriers to withdraw from the area — establishing a new regional balance of deterrence.

Observers describe these admissions as a practical collapse of US deterrence credibility, affirming that control over the Red Sea has effectively shifted to Yemen. The United States and its allies now face growing pressure, as they can no longer ignore Yemen’s ability to impose its own strategic rules and sustain them over time.

Ultimately, these American remarks reaffirm that the true source of Red Sea instability is not Yemen but the Zionist entity’s ongoing crimes. Any path toward restoring normal maritime activity, the report concludes, depends on Washington and “Israel” halting their aggression and lifting the blockade on Gaza — not on futile Western military deployments that have repeatedly failed to deter Yemen’s resolve or break the steadfast will of the besieged Palestinian people.

Since the start of the Zionist entity’s war on Gaza, Yemen has declared its support for the Palestinian resistance by enforcing a naval blockade targeting Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. The Yemeni Armed Forces have repeatedly asserted that their operations are a defensive and moral duty in response to Zionist atrocities, a stance that has reshaped regional maritime equations and exposed the limits of American naval influence in the area.
