"US Navy Counters Iran-Backed Houthi Threats in Strategic Red Sea Clashes"

Iranian officials have commended the Houthi group in Yemen for their actions in support of Palestinians amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict, despite Western calls to cease backing the group. The Houthis have targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, prompting the US Navy to intervene, shooting down missiles and sinking Houthi vessels. The US and UK are considering a formal warning to the Houthis, threatening military action if attacks do not stop, while Iran has sent a warship to the Red Sea, signaling continued support for the Houthis.
