"Watch This Space": US-Led Coalition Considering Striking Back at Houthis Blockading Red Sea
Bloomberg reports that the United States has been considering active strikes against the Houthis blockading the Red Sea, as defensive measures have not restored security and regular traffic in that route.
The United States is considering offensive strikes against Houthi forces, after its defensive measures intercepting drones and missiles have failed to restore security in the Red Sea, leading most ships to circumvent the African continent instead, according to a report by Bloomberg.
Nevertheless, the alliance is divided. While UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps warned Houthis to "watch this space," implying strikes are coming, many other members of the coalition are wary of going beyond the defensive, including many officials in the UK.
