In an ongoing series of attacks, Houthi rebels from Yemen, with backing from Iran, have launched at least 100 assaults on 10 merchant vessels in the Red Sea. The motive behind these attacks seems to be their distress over the Israel-Hamas conflict. With the situation escalating, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has outlined the United States' plans to combat this threat.
Termed 'Operation Prosperity Guardian,' the US military aims to address the alarming issue of Houthi attacks in a steadfast manner. Criticism, however, has surfaced, suggesting that not enough has been done to curb these attacks. One critique boldly questioned the Biden administration's inaction, accusing President Biden of failing to respond to the humiliating exploits of the Iran-backed Houthis.
