Britain must back up the US in the Red Sea

[admin]

Between 7 October and yesterday, the Iranian-backed Houthis have fired over 70 missiles and drones into the Red Sea. Early shots, fired on 26 October, were aimed at Israel itself and intercepted by USS Carney. Within a few weeks, they were firing at “ships connected with Israel”. In what was a well-orchestrated crescendo, this then broadened again to ‘ships going to and from Israel’.
