Iran's Direct Involvement in Houthi Ship Attacks in the Red Sea
The US Navy's top Mideast commander, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, stated that Iran is "very directly involved" in ship attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels during Israel's conflict with Hamas, with at least 34 attacks on shipping since November. The attacks have expanded beyond the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global shipping routes. The US has launched airstrikes on Houthi military sites, and Iran's involvement in fueling, resourcing, and training the attacks has been emphasized. The situation has led to concerns for the global economy, with ships bypassing the Suez Canal, and the US Navy employing a drone fleet to bolster patrol efforts in the region.
