US Navy's Unbeaten Streak Continues as it Thwarts Iran-Backed Drone Attacks in the Red Sea

The US and UK navies intercepted 15 attack drones launched by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, as tensions rise in the region. The Houthi rebels are increasing attacks to pressure Israel into a cease-fire with Gaza, potentially expanding the conflict. The US has urged Israel to avoid escalating maritime warfare with the Houthis. The attacks threaten global trade, as the Red Sea is a major trade artery, and disruptions could impact the timely delivery of goods worldwide. Concerns are mounting about the economic impact, and the US National Security Adviser acknowledged Iran's support for the Houthis.
