Houthi: US-UK's major air attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen, tension may increase in West Asia


Posted on 12th Jan 2024 11:13 am by rohit kumar

America and Britain have taken major action against Houthi rebels targeting merchant ships in the Red Sea. The armies of both countries have carried out air strikes on the positions of Houthi rebels in many places in Yemen. Houthi rebels have suffered huge losses in these air strikes and many of their hideouts have been destroyed. Tension may further increase in West Asia after America attacks Britain.

 

 

Houthi rebels were targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea

The White House issued a statement confirming the attack on Iran-backed Houthi rebels. It is noteworthy that after the Israel-Hamas war, Houthi rebels were targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea area in support of the Palestinians. This was affecting the security of international shipping routes. The US Navy had also foiled attacks by Houthi rebels several times. America had also warned that if the attacks were not stopped, it would have major consequences. America had also increased surveillance for the security of international shipping routes. India has also deployed five of its warships in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea to thwart attacks by Houthi rebels and pirates.

 

 

America issued a statement and informed

The White House issued a statement saying that 'after the attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, last month the US, along with more than 20 countries, launched 'Operation Prosperity Guardian' to protect merchant ships from attacks by Houthi rebels. Last week, along with 13 allied countries, we issued a warning to the Houthi rebels and said that if they did not stop attacks on merchant ships, there would be serious consequences. Today's air strikes against Houthi rebels are a clear message that America and its allies will not compromise on freedom of navigation on the world's most important shipping commercial route.

 

Global supply chain disrupted on international shipping routes

The Houthi rebels are considered to be backed by Iran. Since the Israel-Hamas war, Houthi rebels have been carrying out drone and missile attacks on ships passing through international shipping routes in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. Due to this, the international shipping route was being disrupted. According to media reports, due to the attack by Houthi rebels, trade worth about $200 billion has been diverted from the Red Sea in the last few months. Due to this, there is a fear of increasing inflation in the world. However, after the US air strike, there is a fear of further tension in West Asia, which is already facing tension due to the Israel-Hamas war.
