"Iranian Warship Deployment to Red Sea Escalates Regional Tensions Amid Houthi Conflict"

Iran dispatched its Alborz destroyer into the Red Sea following a US Navy operation that sank three Houthi-operated vessels and killed 10 fighters in response to Houthi attacks on commercial shipping. The move comes after the US urged Tehran to condemn the Houthi actions and promote peace, but Iran instead praised the Houthis for their stance against Israel. The US and coalition forces continue to maintain a presence in the region through "Operation Prosperity Guardian" to ensure the safety of maritime commerce and counteract the increased threat from Houthi attacks.
