"Iran's Role in Houthi Ship Attacks: US Navy's Revelation"
TL;DR
The US Navy's top Mideast commander, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, stated that Iran is "very directly involved" in ship attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels during Israel's conflict with Hamas, with at least 34 attacks on shipping since November. The attacks have expanded beyond the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global shipping and the economy. The US has launched airstrikes on Houthi military sites, and naval patrols have increased in the region. Cooper emphasized the need for the Houthis to stop attacking international merchant ships.
