Fox News
A cargo ship filled with corn is headed for Iran, but has been targeted by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea. Shipping analysts believe it has not been hit yet.
A U.S. defense official said it was likely that the ship had been targeted but not hit, but provided no further comment. Earlier reports by maritime specialists suggested the vessel may have been damaged but that there were no casualties.
The Houthis identified the vessel as the Star Iris. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement the ship was American but maritime-shipping trackers said the Marshall Islands-flagged ship was Greek-owned.
