Red Sea crisis

The Houthi movement is an Iran-backed Zaydi Shia Islamist militant organization that exercises de facto control over parts of Yemen, though it is not the country's internationally recognized government; the Houthi takeover in Yemen in 2014 resulted in the group's acquisition of the capital city of Sanaa, but the anti-Houthi Presidential Leadership Council remains recognized by the international community as Yemen's legitimate government.{{Cite news |last1=Bayoumy |first1=Yara |last2=Ghobari |first2=Mohammed |date=15 December 2014 |title=Iranian support seen crucial for Yemen's Houthis |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-houthis-iran-insight-idUSKBN0JT17A20141215 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230220144207/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-yemen-houthis-iran-insight-idUSKBN0JT17A20141215 |archive-date=20 February 2023 |access-date=3 November 2023 |work=Reuters |language=en}} After this conflict grew into an ongoing civil war, millions of residents were internally displaced, and a Saudi-led coalition responded by imposing a blockade of Yemen.

Following the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the Gaza war, numerous Iran-backed militant groups across the Middle East (including the Houthis) expressed support for the Palestinians and threatened to attack Israel. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned the United States against intervening in support of Israel, threatening that such an intervention would be met with retaliation by drone and missile strikes.{{cite news |last1=Copp |first1=Tara |last2=Baldor |first2=Lolita C. |name-list-style=and |date=19 October 2023 |title=US military shoots down missiles and drones as it faces growing threats in volatile Middle East |url=https://apnews.com/article/yemen-navy-warship-missiles-intercepted-2f5fc9c8a3737f762b29d5c53ec08a5b |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231019193345/https://apnews.com/article/yemen-navy-warship-missiles-intercepted-2f5fc9c8a3737f762b29d5c53ec08a5b |archive-date=19 October 2023 |access-date=2 November 2023 |work=Associated Press}} In order to end their attacks in the Red Sea, the Houthis demanded a ceasefire in the Gaza war and an end to the accompanying Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.{{cite news |last=El Yaakoubi |first=Aziz |date=11 January 2024 |title=Yemen's Houthis say Red Sea attacks do not threaten peace with Riyadh |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/yemens-houthis-say-un-resolution-navigation-red-sea-is-political-game-2024-01-11/ |access-date=April 6, 2024 |work=Reuters}}{{cite news |title=By bombing Yemen, the west risks repeating its own mistakes |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/12/yemen-houthi-militia-israel-gaza-red-sea |work=The Guardian |date=12 January 2024 |access-date=14 January 2024 |archive-date=14 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114171527/https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/12/yemen-houthi-militia-israel-gaza-red-sea |url-status=live}}

On 26 November, the Liberian-flagged {{MV|Central Park}}, an oil tanker managed by Zodiac Maritime, was seized off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden. It carried a full cargo of phosphoric acid with 22 crew members consisting of Russian, Vietnamese, Bulgarian, Indian, Georgian and Filipino nationals.

On 3 December, the United States Navy {{sclass|Arleigh Burke|destroyer|1}} {{USS|Carney}} reportedly shot down three attack drones launched from Yemen that were approaching the ship. After shooting down the drones, the ship responded to a distress call by three commercial ships in the area (the Unity Explorer, Number 9 and Sophie II) which were under attack by ballistic missiles launched from Yemen.{{cite web |title=3 commercial ships hit by missiles in Houthi attack in Red Sea, US warship downs 3 drones|url=https://apnews.com/article/red-sea-houthi-yemen-ships-attack-israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip-716770f0a780160e9abed98d3c48fbde?taid=656ca7c035aad000013d39e8 |publisher=Associated Press |access-date=6 December 2023 |date=3 December 2023 |archive-date=4 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204165825/https://apnews.com/article/red-sea-houthi-yemen-ships-attack-israel-hamas-war-gaza-strip-716770f0a780160e9abed98d3c48fbde?taid=656ca7c035aad000013d39e8 |url-status=live}}

The Houthis claimed responsibility for two of the attacks. Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that one merchant vessel was hit by a missile and another by a drone while in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, without mentioning a warship.

On 9 December 2023, the Houthis vowed to target any vessel en route to Israeli ports, entering the third phase of the crisis. Following the announcement, the frequency of attacks around the Bab-el-Mandeb increased.{{Cite web |last=Nevola |first=Luca |date=2024-01-05 |title=Q&A: Why Are Yemen's Houthis Attacking Ships in the Red Sea? |url=https://acleddata.com/2024/01/05/qa-why-are-yemens-houthis-attacking-ships-in-the-red-sea/ |access-date=2024-06-05 |website=ACLED |language=en-US}}

On 12 December, the Houthis launched an anti-ship cruise missile attack against the Norwegian commercial ship Strinda, an oil and chemical tanker operated by the J. Ludwig Mowinckels Rederi company, while it was close to the Bab-el-Mandeb. The Strinda was on its way from Malaysia to Italy (via the Suez Canal).

The French Armed Forces Ministry and US Department of Defense reported that the Languedoc shot down a drone targeted at the Strinda, and USS Mason also rendered aid. The Houthi attack on the Strinda was an expansion of its series of attacks against maritime shipping in the strait; the Houthis began to attack commercial vessels without any discernible tie to Israel.

On 13 December, Houthi rebels attempted to board the Ardmore Encounter, a Marshall Islands-flagged commercial tanker coming from Mangaluru, India and en route to either Rotterdam, Netherlands or Gävle, Sweden, but failed, prompting a distress call from the ship. They then targeted the tanker with missiles, which missed. USS Mason responded to the tanker's distress call and shot down a UAV launched from a Houthi-controlled area. The Ardmore Encounter was able to continue its voyage without further incident.{{Cite web |date=13 December 2023 |title=US shoots down 'aerial vehicle' launched from Yemen's Houthi-held area |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/13/missiles-from-houthi-controlled-yemen-target-another-commercial-tanker-ap |access-date=14 December 2023 |website=Al Jazeera|archive-date=13 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231213130842/https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/13/missiles-from-houthi-controlled-yemen-target-another-commercial-tanker-ap |url-status=live}}

The missiles landed in the water near the ship while it was traversing through the Gulf of Aden, and there was no reported damage or injuries. However, a Houthi post on social media claimed that they launched several naval missiles at the vessel, resulting in direct hits.

On 22 January, Houthis claimed they attacked the US military cargo ship MV Ocean Jazz, but did not state the location of the attack or if damage was caused. However, the claim was rejected by the US Naval Forces Central Command.

On 24 January, a Houthi missile exploded on the sea about 100 metres off the starboard side of the US-flagged, -owned, and -operated container ship Maersk Detroit. This ship and the Maersk Chesapeake, both in the US Maritime Administration's Maritime Security Program and Voluntary Intermodal Sealift Agreement were carrying US Department of Defense, US Department of State, USAID, and other US government agency cargo from Oman, and accompanied by US naval vessels while they were near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait transiting north. Two other missiles were shot down by {{USS|Gravely}}. Following the incident, the two vessels were ordered back to the Gulf of Aden by US Navy instruction with Navy escort and Maersk Line Limited, a subsidiary that sails primarily US government-owned goods, suspended all sailings in the Red Sea.{{cite news |url=https://lloydslist.com/LL1148047/Maersk-suspends-US-flag-operations-in-Red-Sea-after-two-ships-targeted |title=Maersk suspends US-flag operations in Red Sea after two ships targeted |last=Raanan |first=Tomer |website=Lloyd's List Intelligence |date=24 January 2024 |access-date=25 January 2024 |archive-date=26 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240126052041/https://lloydslist.com/LL1148047/Maersk-suspends-US-flag-operations-in-Red-Sea-after-two-ships-targeted |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://maritime-executive.com/article/maersk-reports-attack-near-two-u-s-flag-ships-off-yemen |title=Maersk Line Ltd.

Reuters, citing unnamed Iranian sources and "a security official close to Iran", has claimed that Iranian personnel are in Yemen, working with Hezbollah militants. Their role involves directing and overseeing Houthi attacks on commercial shipping. The sources also stated that Iran has escalated its provision of advanced drones, anti-ship cruise missiles, precision-strike ballistic missiles, and medium-range missiles to the Houthis, since the outbreak of the Gaza war.{{cite news |last1=Nakhoul |first1=Samia |last2=Hafezi |first2=Parisa |title=Exclusive: Iranian and Hezbollah commanders help direct Houthi attacks in Yemen, sources say |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-hezbollah-commanders-help-direct-houthi-attacks-yemen-sources-say-2024-01-20/ |access-date=20 January 2024 |publisher=Reuters |date=20 January 2024 |archive-date=20 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240120162434/https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iranian-hezbollah-commanders-help-direct-houthi-attacks-yemen-sources-say-2024-01-20/ |url-status=live}}

US officials told Semafor that commanders and advisors from Iran's Revolutionary Guards are currently stationed in Yemen, and are directly involved in the Houthi attacks on commercial traffic in the Red Sea.

The officials did not elaborate on how Iran was helping the Houthis, but Michael Knights of the American think tank Washington Institute for Near East Policy said the Houthis received Iranian surface-to-air missiles, such as the 358 and SA-2, that allowed them to improve their air defenses and target US drones.{{Cite web |last1=Kube |first1=Courtney |last2=Luce |first2=Dan De |date=2024-09-19 |title=Iran is helping the Houthi rebels in Yemen target and down U.S. Reaper drones, U.S. officials say |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/iran-helping-houthi-rebels-yemen-target-us-reaper-drones-us-officials-rcna171834 |access-date=2024-09-20 |website=NBC News |language=en}}

The Houthis have claimed they would target ships that had no military function, which would be a war crime, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW) and others. The HRW also noted that the detention of captured crews could be considered hostage-taking if they are detained to compel a third party to do or abstain from any act as a condition for the hostage's release or safety. Hostage-taking is a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime. A statement issued by the HRW called upon the militants to "end their attacks on civilians caught in the crosshairs of their declared war on Israel."{{cite web |title=Yemen: Houthis Attack Civilian Ships |url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/12/13/yemen-houthis-attack-civilian-ships |publisher=Human Rights Watch |access-date=1 January 2024 |date=13 December 2023 |archive-date=1 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240101120755/https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/12/13/yemen-houthis-attack-civilian-ships |url-status=live}}

The HRW called the Israeli strikes on Yemen in July 2024 a possible war crime since they were apparently an "indiscriminate or disproportionate attack on civilians". It also called the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv that occurred one day prior to the strikes a possible war crime since it deliberately or indiscriminately targeted civilians.{{Cite web |date=2024-08-19 |title=Yemen: Israeli Port Attack Possible War Crime |url=https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/08/19/yemen-israeli-port-attack-possible-war-crime |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=Human Rights Watch |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=2024-08-19 |title=Israel's July strikes on Yemen's Hodeidah port a 'possible war crime', HR Watch says |url=https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-815298 |access-date=2024-08-19 |website=The Jerusalem Post |language=en}}

The operation, codenamed Operation Prosperity Guardian,{{Cite web |last=Altman |first=Howard |date=16 December 2023 |title=Newly Formed Operation Prosperity Guardian To Protect Red Sea Shipping|url=https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/operation-prosperity-guardian-to-protect-red-sea-shipping |access-date=16 December 2023 |website=The Drive |language=en |archive-date=16 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231216205019/https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/operation-prosperity-guardian-to-protect-red-sea-shipping |url-status=live}} was formally launched on 23 December 2023. It is similar to past operations protecting commercial vessels from attack, including in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz during the "Tanker War" of the 1980s, and the ongoing maritime security operations of Combined Task Force 153, the US Navy-led task force based in Bahrain. The operation has also been compared to the successful multilateral naval campaign a decade earlier to combat Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa, although the Houthis, unlike the Somali pirates, enjoy Iranian support, and better equipment and technology, such as helicopters, drones, missiles, and speedboats.{{cite web |last1=Van der Haegen |first1=Jeremy |last2=Zimmermann |first2=Antonia |name-list-style=and |date=4 January 2023 |title=Pirates ahoy: Why battling Houthis will be tougher than Somali raiders |url=https://www.politico.eu/article/pirates-west-new-battle-red-sea-houthi-somali-raiders-israel-hamas-war/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240109200905/https://www.politico.eu/article/pirates-west-new-battle-red-sea-houthi-somali-raiders-israel-hamas-war/ |archive-date=9 January 2024 |access-date=9 January 2024 |work=Politico Europe}}

In mid-January 2024, reports indicated that pro-Palestinian demonstrators in London voiced support for Houthi militants. This occurred shortly after the UK and the US initiated strikes on Houthi targets in response to the group's assaults on ships. Some demonstrators were observed chanting slogans like, "Yemen, Yemen make us proud, turn another ship around," while others displayed signs with messages such as "Hands off Yemen", "Thanks Yemen", and "UK+US wants war. Yemen supports Palestine. Gaza wants to live".{{Cite news |last1=Bird |first1=Steve |last2=Parker |first2=Fiona |name-list-style=and |date=13 January 2024 |title=Watch: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators chant support for Houthi rebel attacks |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/13/pro-palestinian-demonstrator-blames-us-israel-hamas-attack/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240115144305/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/01/13/pro-palestinian-demonstrator-blames-us-israel-hamas-attack/ |archive-date=15 January 2024 |access-date=21 January 2024 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235}}

A senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Navy submariner, Bryan Clark, said that the Red Sea Crisis presented "the most sustained combat that the U.S. Navy has seen since World War II — easily, no question."
