Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a multinational maritime security force — Operation Prosperity Guardian — to protect ships in the Red Sea from missile and drone attacks from Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, Axios' Barak Ravid reports.

  • "The recent escalation in reckless Houthi attacks originating from Yemen threatens the free flow of commerce, endangers innocent mariners, and violates international law," Austin said.

Why it matters: The attacks in the key commercial shipping route have prompted some cargo shippers to halt transits through the Red Sea.

What's happening: Since the Israel-Hamas war started, the Houthis have launched more than 70 drones and ballistic missiles toward Israel, which is more than 1,000 miles away from Yemen, the IDF said.

  • Houthis are targeting commercial ships in the vicinity of the Bab el-Mandeb strait in the Red Sea, which they claimed were owned by Israeli companies or were heading to Israel.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

Israel keeps pounding Gaza, Houthis vow more Red Sea attacks

Who are the Houthi rebels? What to know about the Yemeni militants attacking ships in the Red Sea

For weeks, Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched drone and rocket attacks targeting ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategic passage that connects the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. Below is a look at who the Houthis are, how they became such a formidable if unofficial military power, and why they are launching attacks on the vital trade route.

Iran would like to weaken and perhaps collapse the current secular administration of Egypt.  There is a large population of Shia Islamic extremists in Egypt [Muslim Brotherhood].  Cutting off shipping through the Red Sea will deprive Egypt of $30 million a day in Suez fees.  Might topple the administration.  The Houthi are using the Israeli conflict as a reason for their "blockade" of the Red Sea, but it's really about Iran gaining power over Egypt.

U.S. Troops Warned of Imminent Attack

A Houthi rebel leader has warned of retaliatory efforts against American warships if the Yemeni group is targeted by the U.S. as part of a newly launched operation to counter attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

Numbers 24:23-24

Again he uttered his oracle, saying: "Alas, who shall live when God does this? 24 But ships shall come from Kittim [Cyprus] and shall afflict Asshur and Eber; and he also shall perish forever."  (NRS)

Asshur and Eber are Syria and Iran.  

The angel speaking to Daniel, quotes part of the Baalim prophecy. 

 Daniel 11:30 "For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall lose heart and withdraw. He shall be enraged and take action against the holy covenant. He shall turn back and pay heed to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces sent by him shall occupy and profane the temple and fortress. They shall abolish the regular burnt offering and set up the abomination that makes desolate."(NRS)

If this is a prophecy for the FINAL DAYS, then a third Temple will have to be set up on the Mount, with a priesthood and sacrifices.

🇮🇷 WSJ: Iranian spy ship aids Red Sea attacks

A Red Sea surveillance vessel controlled by Iran's paramilitary forces is giving tracking information to Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have used it to attack commercial vessels, The Wall Street Journal reports.

  • Western and regional security officials tell the paper that Iran is "providing real-time intelligence and weaponry, including drones and missiles," to the rebels — who then target ships in the Red Sea.

🇺🇸 National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said yesterday that Iranian support has enabled Houthis to launch attacks against Israel and maritime targets, though Iran has often deferred operational decision-making authority to the Houthis.

U.S. sinks three Houthi boats

In the Red Sea today, U.S. Navy helicopters returned fire in self-defense at four Houthi small boats out of Yemen, sinking three of the four boats and killing the crews, U.S. Central Command announced.

  • The fourth fled.

Why it matters: This is the most significant engagement by U.S. forces against the Iranian-backed Houthis since they started attacking ships in the Red Sea after the Israel-Hamas war began, Axios' Barak Ravid reports.

What happened: The Navy helicopters were responding to a distress call from the container ship Maersk Hangzhou after it was fired on by the rebels, who attempted to board.

🖼️ The big picture: The Houthis claim their attacks are against ships heading to and from Israel. But the rebels have attacked many other ships, and significantly hampered freedom of navigation on one of the world's most vital maritime commercial routes.

🚢 The latest: Maersk, a global shipping giant with 700+ container vessels, announced today that it's pausing all sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours.

Missile fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen strikes merchant vessel in Red Sea

US Navy helicopters fire at Yemen’s Houthi rebels and kill several in latest Red Sea shipping attack

BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military said Sunday that its forces opened fire on Houthi rebels after they attacked a cargo ship in the Red Sea, killing several of them in an escalation of the maritime conflict linked to the war in Gaza. “We’re going to act in a self-defense going forward,” a White House official said.

The price of sending goods around the world is spiking after six weeks of disruptions in the Red Sea, where Iran-backed Houthi militants are attacking commercial shipping vessels, Axios' Emily Peck reports.

  • Why it matters: The situation could mean higher prices, just as inflation is coming down, and cause shortages of goods, just as retailers have finally recovered from the roller coaster of the past few years.

🖼️ The big picture: The disruptions pose a threat to the global economy, nearly four years after COVID woke the world up to the existence — and fragility — of supply chains.

🧮 By the numbers: Spot rates for shipping goods from Asia to Northern Europe are up 173% compared to before shippers started rerouting shipments, and rates to North America's East Coast are up 52%, according to Freightos, a booking and payments platform for international freight.

🧠 State of play: About 30% of global container ship volume moves through the Suez Canal, which links the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea, according to the digital transformation company UST.

  • But since the Houthi attacks got underway, shippers have been forced to reroute container vessels to avoid the area.
  • The situation is unfolding at the same time the Panama Canal — which handles 8% of shipping volume — is at reduced capacity due to drought. Shippers were using the Red Sea as an alternative.

💡 How it works: Diverting container vessels adds lots of time to shipping.

  • If a carrier goes around Africa's southern tip, instead of through the Suez to ship goods to New York, it adds two weeks of travel time, per UST.

U.S. missiles hit Houthis in Yemen
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.axios.com%

The U.S. and U.K. launched airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen after the group defied repeated warnings to halt its attacks on merchant and commercial vessels in the Red Sea, Axios' Barak Ravid writes.

  • Two American officials said the U.S. expects the Houthis to retaliate — and said U.S. forces in the region are ready to defend themselves and launch more strikes if needed.

What's happening: An American military official said at a briefing last night that the strikes were conducted by U.S. Navy warships and submarines, which launched precision-guided munitions in order to hit specific targets and avoid civilian casualties.

  • A spokesperson for the Houthi rebels said the airstrikes hit the Yemeni city of Hodeidah.

The backstory: President Biden said in a statement that the strikes were in direct response to the "unprecedented Houthi attacks against international shipping vessels in the Red Sea — including the use of anti-ship ballistic missiles for the first time in history."

  • The Houthis have launched more than two dozen attacks on vessels in the Red Sea since November, severely hampering freedom of navigation in one of the world's main commercial shipping routes.

Between the lines: Biden had been considering taking military action against the Houthis for weeks. But he was hesitant because of concerns it could drag the U.S. further into the crisis militarily.

  • Instead, the administration focused on building an international coalition of countries and a multinational naval task force, Operation Prosperity Guardian, aimed at deterring the rebel group.
  • But the Houthis continued their attacks, including on Tuesday when they launched their largest drone and missile attack so far, as commercial ships were passing through the Red Sea.

🇺🇸 Biden hit from all sides on Middle East strikes

President Biden is facing rare simultaneous criticism from interventionists and isolationists in Congress over his recent strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen and other militia groups in the Middle East, Axios' Andrew Solender reports.

Why it matters: Dovish lawmakers on the ideological ends of both parties argue the president lacks the authority to unilaterally carry out the strikes — while, conversely, foreign policy hawks say he isn't going far enough.

  • An administration official told Axios the Biden team is "confident, after consultation with the Justice Department and interagency lawyers, that U.S. actions against Houthi targets are consistent with international and domestic law."

Driving the news: A group of 14 House Democrats and eight House Republicans signed onto a letter to Biden on Friday raising "serious concerns" about what they labeled "unauthorized" strikes against the Houthis.

  • That follows a similar letter from Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) last week.
  • "What is your administration's understanding of 'self-defense' in the context of these strikes?" they asked, pointing to Biden's admission that the strikes have not deterred the Houthis.

The intrigue: It's no longer just foreign policy doves raising objections to the Biden administration's recent actions in the Middle East.

  • Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), one of Congress' preeminent defense hawks, said in a floor speech on Thursday that rather than overstepping his authority, Biden is "failing to sufficiently exercise the authority he has."
  • "He's played whack-a-mole against warehouses and launch sites but left the terrorists' air defenses and command-and-control facilities intact," the GOP leader said.

When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}
