Houthis carry out attacks in Red Sea with Iran’s support — US Central Command

The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners, the US Central Command said

NEW YORK, December 4. /TASS/. The US has all grounds to assert that all four attacks on three commercial vessels in the Red Sea had been committed by the Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (the Houthi) with Iran’s support, the US Central Command said.

"Today, there were four attacks against three separate commercial vessels operating in international waters in the southern Red Sea. These three vessels are connected to 14 separate nations. <...> We also have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran. The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners," it said in a statement on the X social media platform (formerly Twitter).
