US warns Houthis in Yemen, backed by Iran, to cease attacks on commercial ships, while implementing Operation Prosperity Guardian with a coalition of 10 nations. The effectiveness of US naval deterrence in the region is questioned, raising concerns about the potential redesignation of the Houthis as a terrorist organization. The US-led coalition in the Red Sea aims to safeguard commerce amidst attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi group, prompting rerouting by major shipping companies. The Houthis have linked these attacks to the war against Palestinians, emphasizing their stance in supporting the Palestinian people until Israel's aggression ends and the siege on the Gaza strip is lifted.
