The Houthis, a Yemen-based rebel group, have escalated their military actions by targeting US, UK, and Israeli ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, using ballistic missiles and drones in a series of six military operations over the past 72 hours. These attacks targeted the USS MAERSK SARATOGA, APL DETROIT, HUANG PU, and PRETTY LADY ships. These attacks have been supported by intelligence provided by Iran's spy ship, the MV Behshad, in the Gulf of Aden. The US and its allies, despite deploying advanced military capabilities, have struggled to counter these threats effectively. The Houthis have also declared their readiness to attack any ships sailing to Israeli ports, further complicating international efforts to secure maritime routes. This situation underscores the Houthis' role as a significant Iranian proxy in the region and poses a challenge to global trade and the security of one of the world's most crucial maritime chokepoints.
