U.S. Military Targets Houthi-Controlled Sites Amid Rising Threats to Shipping Lanes

For the fourth day, the U.S. Navy has launched ship and submarine-launched missile strikes against Houthi-controlled locations in Yemen. This follows the formal statement that the U.S. has reinstated the Houthis on its list of specially designated global terrorists, including sanctions to cut off their funding and support.

On condition of anonymity, U.S. sources said the strikes are part of measures to thwart commercial and military ship attacks. The recent drone attack on the M/V Genco Picardy in the Gulf of Aden shows that the Houthis continue their harassing campaign despite sanctions and military actions.

The situation has escalated further with the U.S. strongly admonishing Iran to cease providing weapons to the Houthis. Recent events include a U.S. raid on a dhow, intercepting ballistic missile parts destined for Yemen, as well as the loss of two U.S. Navy SEALs during an interception operation. The Pentagon has committed to continued military action to thwart further attacks, in collaboration with regional partners. Tensions have intensified following incidents such as the firing of anti-ship missiles at a U.S. Navy destroyer and subsequent strikes on U.S.-owned and Malta-flagged ships. The U.S. responded to these provocations by intercepting and neutralizing anti-ship ballistic missiles, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

The U.S. government stands firm in its resolve to counter and deter these attacks, emphasizing the critical nature of international cooperation in addressing this growing threat. The need for a comprehensive and robust response to the escalating situation has become imperative, with the risk to global shipping and security at the forefront of these ongoing efforts.
