The United States, joined by 12 allied nations, has issued a final warning to Houthi rebels, demanding an immediate halt to their attacks on Red Sea vessels. The rebels, linked to 23 assaults since Dec. 19 in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict, face potential military action if they persist. The joint statement, signed by major nations, emphasizes the responsibility the Houthis bear for threatening lives and disrupting global commerce. As tensions escalate, Operation Prosperity Guardian is actively protecting shipping lanes, with recent incidents involving U.S. helicopters retaliating against Houthi attacks, escalating concerns about a broader regional conflict.
