America’s Defense Minister Lloyd Austin gave this information. Austin said in a statement issued on Saturday that America and Britain also got support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands and New Zealand in carrying out these attacks. “US and UK forces have again launched strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen,” Austin said.
This collective action is a clear message to the Houthi rebels that they will face similar consequences in the future if they do not stop their illegal attacks on international shipping and vessels. We will not hesitate to protect life and the free navigation of ships in one of the world’s most vital waterways.” He said the attacks were aimed at destabilizing American and international vessels transiting the Red Sea lawfully. The aim is to stop and reduce the capabilities of Iran-backed Houthi militias (civilian militias) to carry out unprovoked attacks.
