The situation in the Red Sea

The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen began seizing commercial vessels they claimed were linked to Israeli companies off the coast of Yemen on October 31, citing a reaction to Israel's attacks in Gaza, and have also carried out attacks on some with drones and missiles.

During this process, US forces announced several times that they had shot down missiles and kamikaze drones launched from Yemen. Following the actions of the Houthis, numerous shipping companies decided to suspend their voyages in the Red Sea.

On December 18, the US announced the creation of a multinational "maritime task force" called "Operation Prosperity Guardian" with the participation of a group of countries, citing that global maritime trade security was at risk.

On December 31, three Houthi speedboats attempting to seize a ship linked to Israel in the Red Sea were fired upon by US helicopters.
