A statement by the coalition said one tanker was attacked west of Yemen’s Hodeidah port but did not name the vessel or describe how it was hit.

“The Saudi oil tanker was subjected to slight damage due to the attack by the Houthi militia,” the statement said. “Thankfully the attack failed due to immediate intervention of the coalition’s fleet.”

A statement from Saudi Aramco said “two Very Large Crude Carriers [VLCCs], each with a two million barrels capacity ... were attacked by terrorist Houthi militia this morning in the Red Sea. One of the ships sustained minimal damage. No injuries nor oil spill have been reported”.

هل هُناك عَلاقة بين هُجوم الحوثيين على نَاقِلَة نِفط سُعوديّة في البَحر الأحمر وتَهديد إيران بإغلاق مَضيق هرمز؟ ولماذا تتزايَد تسريبات الإمارات حَول نواياها بسَحبِ قُوّاتِها مِن اليَمن هَذهِ الأيّام؟ وكيف نُفَسِّر الصَّمت السُّعوديّ تُجاهَها؟ | رأي اليوم

Edito ABA dans Rai al-yom : "Y a-t-il un lien entre l’assaut des Houthis contre le pétrolier saoudien en mer Rouge et les menaces iraniennes de fermer le détroit d’Hormuz ? Pourquoi voit-on se multiplier les rumeurs à propos d’un retrait des forces émiriennes au Yémen ? Pourquoi ce silence saoudien sur ce sujet ?

D’après Mujtahidd, il ne s’agit pas d’un pétrolier mais bel et bien d’un bâtiment de guerre....

السفينة التي ضربت قرب باب المندب كانت بارجة حربية سعودية لكن ابن سلمان تحاشى أن يعترف أن الحوثيين لديهم قدرة على تدمير سفنه الحربية فزعم أنها ناقلة نفط الأحمق لم يدرك أن الاعتراف بعجز كامل عن حماية باب المندب بعد ثلاث سنوات من الحرب أخطر من الاعتراف بضرب بارجة حربية

UAE Calls Houthi Attack on Oil Shipments Totally Irresponsible - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/07/26/world/26reuters-yemen-security-emirates.html

An attack on Wednesday by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels on two oil tankers in the Red Sea was totally irresponsible, United Arab Emirates Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said.

“This is a totally irresponsible act,” he told an audience in London on Thursday. “The effect of it actually is much wider than the region.”

He added: “I think this is another example of why the Houthi takeover of the Yemeni government in Sanaa should end.”

Saudi Arabia and arch-foe Iran have been locked in a three-year proxy war in Yemen, which lies on one side of the Bab al-Mandeb strait at the southern mouth of the sea, one of the most important trade routes for oil tankers heading from the Middle East to Europe.

The UAE is part of a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states fighting to gain control of the Houthi-controlled main port of Hodeidah.

“The only way forward is to get Hodeidah,” Gargash said. “What we are planning to do is give diplomacy every possible chance to secure that.”

#yapuka … l’offensive « finale » sur Hodeida démarrée le 13 juin est « en pause » pour laisser sa chance à la diplomatie depuis le 1er juillet.

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia said on Saturday it has resumed all oil shipments through the strategic Red Sea shipping lane of Bab al-Mandeb.

Saudi Arabia halted temporarily oil shipments through the lane on July 25 after attacks on two oil tankers by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement.

A statement by the Energy Ministry said shipments had resumed on Saturday.

“The decision to resume oil shipment through the strait of Bab al-Mandeb was made after the leadership of the coalition has taken necessary measures to protect the coalition states’ ships,” Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said in the ministry statement.

Le Louvre Abu Dhabi raye le Qatar de la carte - La Tribune de l’Art

Rayer littéralement un pays de la carte, prétendre qu’il n’a jamais existé, et ceci dans un espace réservé aux enfants, donc à l’éducation, dans un musée qui porte le nom de Louvre. Voilà l’immense exploit que vient de réaliser, à peine plus de deux mois après avoir été inauguré en grande pompes par le Président de la République Emmanuel Macron, le Louvre Abu Dhabi.

J’ai toujours pensé que la cartographie est un instrument politique vraiment super pratique.

HITTING out at the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash who said the removal of Qatar from the map was an unintended lapse, activists asked him: how do you explain the annexation of the Musandam province of Oman in your country? Is it also an unintentional lapse?

et d’ailleurs, pourquoi s’arrêter à ce genre de détail ?

Social media activists have said this was not for the first time that the UAE has done something like this.
A map of Oman had already been placed on the website of the Mohammed Bin Zayed Award for teachers months ago showing Musandam as part of the United Arab Emirates.

“Kuwait stands shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers in Saudi on all fronts. We are always ready and able to provide what is needed to our Gulf partners within the confines of our constitution,” said Sheikh Mohammad al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, Kuwait’s minister for cabinet affairs, in an interview in Dubai.
Speaking late on Monday, he said this could be “intelligence-sharing, the provision of establishments required by the coalition to facilitate their activities”. He did not elaborate.
