International Response to Houthi Attacks in the Red Sea: US, UK, and Yemeni Perspectives
The US is considering "appropriate action" in response to recent Houthi drone and missile attacks in the Red Sea, according to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan. The attacks targeted three commercial ships in international waters, with the USS Carney intercepting and shooting down three drones. The US is consulting with allies on a coordinated response to the Houthi threat, which is backed by Iran. Sullivan emphasized the need for global cooperation in dealing with this emerging challenge and stated that the US will take action at a time and place of its choosing.
