🌊 UN Extends Red Sea Monitoring as Maritime Security Risks Escalate

In July 2025, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) unanimously (12-0) voted to extend its monitoring mandate on Houthi rebel attacks in the Red Sea until January 15, 2026.

This decision follows a string of deadly incidents, including the attacks on the Magic Seas and the Eternity C, highlighting the rising threat to freedom of navigation and global maritime trade.


🚒 What’s Happening?

Since late 2023, Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have expanded their maritime attacks, targeting not only Israeli-linked vessels but also neutral merchant ships as part of their declared solidarity with Gaza.

In the recent Eternity C attack:

  • At least 1 crew member confirmed dead
  • 4 missing, presumed dead
  • 6 crew members reportedly taken hostage
  • Survivors were evacuated to Saudi Arabia

The EU naval mission Operation Aspides has successfully intercepted over 20 attacks but is reportedly stretched thin, averaging fewer than one warship per day across the vast Red Sea–Indian Ocean zone. Importantly, merchant vessels must proactively request protection; there is no automatic escort.


🌍 Where Do Countries Stand?

  • πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί Russia, πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ China, πŸ‡©πŸ‡Ώ Algeria β†’ advocate for diplomatic, non-military solutions
  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ US, πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί EU β†’ emphasize the need for naval presence and continued protection missions
  • UN β†’ prioritizes the safe release of kidnapped crew as a humanitarian imperative

βš“ Why It Matters

βœ… The Red Sea handles ~$1 trillion in global trade annually
βœ… Skyrocketing insurance costs + rerouted voyages = supply chain pressures worldwide
βœ… Merchant ships now broadcast AIS messages like β€œAll Crew Muslim” to avoid targeting β€” effectiveness highly debated


πŸ’‘ MarePress Summary

The Red Sea has become more than a regional flashpoint; it’s now a global maritime security crisis. While the UN’s extended mandate is necessary, long-term stability will require diplomatic breakthroughs, coordinated military-civilian action, and resilient supply chain strategies.
