Recently, the leadership of the Houthis in Yemen announced that they would carry out attacks on US-led Red Sea escort ships. The Houthis said that even if the United States mobilizes the whole world, they will not stop military operations. This statement was issued after US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the launch of the Prosperous Guardians international operation on the 18th. The Houthi leadership has warned that they will carry out attacks against ships of the countries of the international coalition involved in US escort operations in the Red Sea.
This statement has sparked concern and concern in the international community. The Red Sea is an important shipping corridor connecting Asia, Europe and Africa, and the U.S.-led Red Sea escort operations are designed to ensure shipping safety and protect international interests. The threat posed by the Houthis poses a serious threat to the stability of the region and to the global economy.
The statements of the Houthi leadership show their hostility and determination towards the United States and its allies. They made it clear that they would not stop their military operations even in the face of global pressure and intervention. Such an attitude could exacerbate regional tensions and trigger more conflict and uncertainty.
In the face of this threat, the international community should use diplomatic channels to get the Houthi leadership to abandon violence and find a peaceful solution. In addition, the international community should step up humanitarian assistance to Yemen to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis in the country.
