Usa, sequestrati nel Mar Arabico armi da Iran agli Houthi

epa11137135 New Houthi recruits step on a banner depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, US President Biden and British Prime Minister Sunak during a gathering to show defiance against the US-British strikes on Houthi positions, in Sana'a, Yemen, 08 February 2024. Yemen's Houthis have been mobilizing and recruiting more fighters as part of a mobilization campaign for a possible confrontation with the United States and Israel amid fears of a wider regional conflict stemming from escalating Houthi attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said that it had attacked missiles from the Houthis that were ready to be launched against merchant ships in the Red Sea, two days after it identified six anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Houthis toward the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. In January 2024, the US Department of State designated Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' due to their increased attacks on shipping lanes. In December 2023, the US Department of Defense announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea in response to the escalation of Houthi attacks. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB
