It's thought it used to be US-owned, but that may no longer be the case (now registered to an address in Liberia). Almost no connection with Israel/Gaza, and its destination was the Red Sea, not the Suez Canal. I suppose the Houthi would say "Saudi Arabia can take all its imports via the Persian Gulf", but you have to wonder if this was just another way for the Houthi to fight the Saudis again.

I think they're going to suffer a ground invasion some time, and many non-Houthi Yemenis will suffer.
