In order to defend seaborne business in the Red Sea against ballistic missile and drone assaults launched by Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, the US established Operation Prosperity Guardian on Monday. The UK, Bahrain, France, Norway, and other nations are members of the coalition.With the help of terrorist organisations like Ansar Al-Sharia, Islamic State, and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Iran-backed Houthi militia is fighting the Yemeni government and has almost entirely taken on the role of a state actor, armed with drones that can fire missiles, helicopters, and ballistic missiles. The Houthi militia, which is based in South Yemen close to the Bab el-Mandab Red Sea chokepoint, is aiming to put pressure on the international community to cease Israel’s military operations in Gaza by attacking commercial vessels.
