Houthi Rebels' Missile Threat: US Navy Unscathed, Others at Risk

Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been launching missile and drone attacks on commercial ships off the coast of Yemen, posing a threat to international shipping. While US Navy ships have successfully defended against these attacks, experts warn that the Houthis' aggression jeopardizes maritime security and international commerce in the region. The rebels have targeted ships due to their connections to Israel and their disapproval of Israel's war against Hamas. The US holds Iran responsible for supplying the weapons used by the Houthis. Efforts are underway to establish an international maritime task force to ensure safe passage for ships in the Red Sea.
