Recent events in the Middle East have brought to light the ongoing conflict involving Houthi militants, who are backed by Iran and have been launching attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The latest development saw a major assault by the militants being repelled by the U.S. Navy after a 48-hour confrontation.
The U.S. Navy successfully thwarted a large-scale attack by Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea over the weekend, marking it as the most significant attack to date. During the confrontation, U.S. warships managed to shoot down at least 28 drones within a span of four hours.
