Deep dives
Houthi Attacks on Red Sea Shipping
The U.S. and British military have launched strikes against Houthi-held areas of Yemen in response to the Houthi movement's attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea. These attacks have disrupted commercial shipping and the global economy. President Biden stated that the strikes were meant to send a clear message and protect U.S. personnel, civilian mariners, and trade. However, these limited strikes are unlikely to deter the Houthis, who have shown resilience and a commitment to continue their attacks.
