Britain could join possible US air strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen to protect Red Sea shipping, top US military figure David Petraeus said on Tuesday.
His comments came after Defence Secretary Grant Shapps said the Government would not hesitate to take “further action” to prevent more attacks by the Houthis, whose Iranian backers are accused of intensifying their regional meddling since the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza started on October 7.
