The cost of the Red Sea war to the US is $200 billion.
According to Shahab News Agency, the British publication The Economist, in a report referring to developments in the Red Sea as a result of the Yemeni armed forces’ support operations in the Gaza war, wrote that the number of American ships in the Red Sea has decreased sharply, while the number of Chinese ships has increased.
The results of the research by this British publication show that American and British companies are facing staggering costs for insuring their ships, and this cost can reach up to 2% of the total price of the ship.
The report states that the volume of cargo through Bab al-Mandab has decreased by two-thirds during this period, and ships are changing their nationality.
The Economist has estimated the total costs of the attacks in the Red Sea during 2024 to exceed $200 billion.
The report adds that Ansar Allah has advanced in an astonishing way and is unveiling new technology and weapons.
Last Wednesday, before the official announcement of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, Yemen, as a supporter of Gaza, targeted a US aircraft carrier in the region. Yemeni army spokesman Yahya Saree announced that during a joint military operation, the aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its naval units were targeted in the northern Red Sea.
Yahya Saree stated that the objectives of the operation were successfully achieved and this is the sixth time that the ship has been targeted since arriving in the Red Sea.
