The Biden administration is considering options to counter Houthi attacks on naval and commercial ships in the Red Sea, which is a route for about 12% of global trade. These attacks by the Iran-backed Yemeni group have disrupted global trade, prompting container firms accounting for 95% of the capacity that usually crosses the Suez Canal to suspend services in the area. Major shipping companies are rerouting vessels around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid the Suez Canal. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the creation of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multinational maritime task force including at least 10 countries, to protect freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. However, Houthi leaders have threatened to target US-led maritime forces if they interfere with the militia's embargo on Israel-bound ships. In response to the escalating threat, the US and its allies are contemplating military strikes to diminish the Houthis' ability to target commercial shipping. Meanwhile, Iran's paramilitary forces are accused of providing real-time intelligence to the Houthis via an Iranian spy ship, facilitating their targeting of vessels, a claim supported by Western and regional security officials. The White House alleges that Iran is 'deeply involved' in planning operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
