these two brave men gave their lives to preserving america's security in the red sea and we would be remiss if we did not remember the continued danger our men and women in uniform face even this very hour on the land and sea and in the air around yemen. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you very much. thank you for that recognition. the chairman is joining us today and i turn it over to him for some opening remarks. >> senator murphy, i want to welcome the secretary to our committee and thank them for their service. i want to thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member young, for conducting this hearing. i think it is extremely important. i just want to add my support for your opening comments. on the responsibility of congress in regards to the authorization for use of military force. i agree with you. yet meditation should be seeking that authority and it is our responsibility to respond to it and i also want to acknowledge your leadership. i think these are all if -- >> let me introduce our two guests. tim, u.s. special envoy for yemen. he is familiar to many of us on this committee a

and because of the obstruction of the waterways in red sea, the companies, the international maritime companies stop dealing with the israeli enemy, so many countries and many companies no longer do business with the israelis and they are also not responding to the calls of sending them their goods so that their ships are not targeted. in addition, the insurance companies providing insurance to the cargo ships. for those ships that are heading to the ports of palestine occupied by the israeli enemy, and most of the companies which agree for insurance set conditions on the israeli ships and the american ships to pay additional sums of money which reach 50%. this reaches a fraction of the value of the ship itself, and so this had an impact on the designation of the strength of the israeli economy, it is now vulnerable to decrease before it was one of the strongest 15 economies in the world, however it's great collapse as a result of the aggression on gaza and also the operations in the red sea, this has led for this designation to decrease. the operations are having a big impact on the

that is because of the ongoing israely war on gaza. and his repercussions in the southern red sea. it is estimated a 2.9% growth for the arab region in 2024. this is 0.5% lower than previously reported in october, projection stood at 3.4%. donslot broke out when economic growth was already slowing in the region, while high levels of debt and resolved inflation continued to post significant problems in many economies. furthermore, the war's knock-on effects could impact the world, the longer the fighting drags on. there's not a risk of spillover in the sewis canal. that is because yemani resistance forces have attacked israely and israeli bound ships in the red sea. the volume of commercial traffic passing through the suis canal had fallen more than 40% in the previous two months. what is complicated the situation is the fact that countries like the us and uk have militarized the red sea region in support for israel. it's time now to take a look at some of the social media posts: first up, a website overlapping crisis, add urgency for imf, world bank resources, in which it goes to s

that led to the militarization of the red sea now being observed seas, and the situation is really tense. long before israel committed aggression against the gaza strip. the houthis practiced such things in the red sea, so this is not something new. and we can't talk about freedom of navigation while there is an armed group that does not obey the government, the authorities, which is taking aggressive actions against... and also we cannot sit idly by, because our people are suffering, they do not have access to fuel , nutrition, because of these practices that the houthis are committing in relation to the palestinian issue. we discussed with our russian partners how things are and we also agree that the palestinian people have the right to create our independent state with its capital in east jerusalem, we will also work in this direction, and we understand that double standards are used regarding what is happening in the gas sector, and we in yemen take a clear, understandable position on the palestinian problem, we share the position of the russian federations in this aspect. goo

economies neighboring israel and the palestinian territories saw the conflict weighing tourism revenues, red sea attacks weighed on freight costs globally, and finally hoothies could cut under sea global internet cables, the minister has warned, it said even partial damage to the undersea cables could eliminate internet. access across vast areas, causing major economic disruptions for entire countries. under sea cables connect, not only yemen, but entire continents. that's something to watch out for if this onslot continues. all right, let me introduce our guests for the first segment of our q&a. joining us uh first is uh brano altman, he's a journalist, founder of opera mundi and author of against zionism, portrait of a colonial and racist doctrine. bren altman, welcome to. the program uh the imf and the world bank have issued this warning, which is - our uh focus with you, that this uh onslot and also the red sea attacks uh is going to imperil the global economy, how true true do you think that is, um, and in particular when you take a look at what the us and uk are doing in the red sea milita

us navy in the middle east, admitted in an interview to cbs is 60 minutes that their forces in the red sea, gulf of aden and the arabian sea are operating a combat tempo unseen since world war ii. he stated that their military ships are under attack with only 9 to 15 seconds to decide to intercept missiles traveling at speeds of up to 3000 miles per hour, acknowledging the military superiority of yemen. the second truth confirming the unprecedented quagmire for the united states and a highly costly war of attrition. is cooper's admission of the us navy launching about 100 missiles from its standard land to air missiles, each costing about four million us dollars against yemani missiles or drones worth only. only thousands of dollars, this means that the united states of america spent nearly half billion dollars on the cost of intercepting missiles alone, not to mention the cost of air strikes and tomahawk missiles launched at yemini land, operational expenses for about 7,00 american fighters, surveillance, reconnaissance and satellite costs with the zero results as underscored by sayid abd

support. we did hear uh the admiral brad cooper, he admitted as you just said that the us forces in the red sea in the gulf of haiden in the arabian sea they are operating at what he said and i quote a combat temple unseen since world war ii, one might listen to that and think well... and the us had any wars since then, but yes they did, but they haven't had had this kind of resistance maybe since then. meanwhile, the yemeny armed forces say that they are just using their old stock pile, they are not even using their new weapons yet, and uh, they are, they are they are keeping that uh full power for for maybe later, but how clos close is this uh confrontation to uh maybe an all-out explosion not only in the red sea but in the entire arabian peninsula. their operations are in support of the palestinian people and resistance. therefore, the cessation of operations is directly linked to holding aggression on gaza and lifting the siege on the palestinian people. another condition was later added, which is when the americans, along with the british, launched aggression on yemen to try to alleviate p

we did here, the admiral brad cooper, he admitted, as you just said, that the u.s. forces in the red sea, in the gulf of vaiden, in the arabian sea, they are operating at what he said, and i quote, a combat temple unseen since world war ii, one might listen to that and think, well, haven't the us had any wars since then, but yes they did, but they haven't had had this kind of resistance, maybe since then, meanwhile, the yemen armed forces say that they are just using their old stock pile, they are not even using their new weapons yet, and uh, they are, they are, they are keeping that full. power for for maybe later, but how clos close is this confrontation to maybe an all-out explosion, not only in the red sea, but in the entire arabian peninsula yany. entity is doing in gaza. they have stated that their operations are in support of the palestinian people and resistance. therefore, the cessation of operations is directly linked to holting aggression on gaza and lifting the siege on the palestinian people. another condition was later, which is when the americans, along with. and control o

and the red sea came under attack from hookey fights. as in yemen who he said they're going to continue their attacks. if israel doesn't stop as war on gaza, important to know the who these have not killed or harmed any of those of or those vessels. however, us bombings have killed some whose team members the this coming on the heels of the announcement of a multi national coalition of countries. joining with the pentagon calls operation prosperity, guardian. during the secretary of defense, lloyd austin's visit to israel had of the holidays and his own medical emergency. but that was supposed to be a defensive chaperone emission method, the term maritime hostile action. instead, what we're seeing is the us taking that deterrence from the high seas, to land with the u. k. joining on to bomb you haven't for more, will go to someone with experience in diplomatic negotiations and consultation in iran to joining us is science mohammed mirandi. he's a professor of oriental is i'm at the university of care, ron professor, thanks so much for be

in response to the air strikes, ansarullah unleashed a fresh missile attack in the red sea. these people are creating a total trade blockade, which is causing inflation, which is causing all sorts of problems to everybody. 25,000 people are dead in gaza right now, there are over 60,00 people injured with no access to food, water, aid. how dare we have a conversation about? trade when there are children right now being treated without anesthetic, there are things that require us to make and this would be one. they do have the global economy, global markets hostage. good for them, if you want to stop the hoothies doing what they're doing, then qualties would would stop doing what they're doing, if they have literally said that that's why they're doing what they're doing, they have not previously blocked those roots for any other reason except this one, so yes i do. "and i also think the west needs to start to understand that you cannot just go around playing cowboys in the world, there are consequences to your actions. you cannot just go around bombing people's countries, igno

regardless of their destination, they pass through the red sea without any difficulty. so what the americans and the british are really trying to do is that they're trying to help is randy regime get it supplies and to assist it so that it can more easily carry out the genocide in gaza. so the iranian navy sees the tanker carrying a rocky crude off the coast of online on january 11th. here's the us national security spokesman john kirby briefly addressing that matter. i'm sure you've all seen reports about the around as a parent seizure of a merchant vessel called the saint nicholas of marshall islands flagged and greek on oil tanker. while it was lawfully navigating waters in the gulf of oman, we condemn his parents, seizure, your running government, and immediately released the ship and its crew is provocative and unacceptable. actions meet the stuff. now, some say this oil was actually stolen to begin with. can you give us any insight into those claims? and if this was indeed retaliation for the us seizure of an a radio and vessel last year. yes, this was retaliation

the americans in force as starvation siege in the red sea for 7 years. we all remember what happened, the british, how the saudis keep their planes ready and prepared to bomb? yeah, many positions, day and night. so the americans and those rallies were effectively in helping the saudis carry out genocide for 7 years. and now that the army and the government, as on the health these they want to block or prevent is rarely use from carrying our genocide the americans. and the british strike. yeah. going to get yeah. man is the error world, poor us country we should note. uh it just narrowly move past what was dumped, the biggest humanitarian crisis over the the last 9 years. up until this on slot, on gaza. the country was under heavy bombardment for years by their wealthy neighbor, the saudis, who are, of course, armed by the west. now the young and these are being bombed by the west direct we where will the saudis fall on this? the so these are very concerned because on the one hand out public opinion, the global south also they stand with the how many gov

confused the enemy. also terrorize the enemy and also the sea, we have targeted 48 vessels in the red sea and the arab sea, and this is very significant number. he said the us is not capable of intercepting newly developed yemini rockets and submarines, he said the us and the uk have failed to limit any operations and are surprised of sun's capabilities, reiterated that san ar will continue his military operations in the red sea until israel stops its onslot on gaza and ends the siege on the palestinian territory. the yemini leader also slammed arab states and media for failing to support palestinians. huthy also slammed the arab media for repeating us and british rhetoric against yemen. he once again called on yemeni people to mobilize for another rally in solidarity with palestinians on friday. meanwhile the yemani army spokesman yahosari. the country's recent operations in solidarity with palestinians in gaza and in response to the american british aggression against the country. let's seemeni armed forces carried out three specific military operations as follows: the first one, our mi

this doesn't count the navy folks in and around the red sea, the gulf of aden, red sea. 3,000 in jordan. 800 in syria. 2500 in iraq. these are important areas for the u.s. to be in because these are the people that protect u.s. interests. >> all right, right now, i want you to stay with us as we bring in the rest of the panel. i want to go to you first. what do you know, what do we know about what the administration is doing. how they are trying to walk this very careful line of deterrence while not ratcheting things up in such a way things will spiral out of control. >> this has been the line they've been trying to walk the entire time and there's no science to it, right? you are trying to measure how different they're going to respond. so far, based on what happened last night with the attacks in syria and iraq, i would have to say the responses have been pretty mild. the iranian came out and condemned it. said as you noted earlier, the united states is making a strategic error. there was no vow of retaliation. every indication we got is that the iranian do not want to get into direct

a german naval frigate taking part in european mission in the red sea has mistakenly opened fire on american mq9 reaper drone nearly shooting it down. according to german media fired two missiles at the drone, but both crashed into the sea because of... technical defect, the germany's defense ministry has confirmed the incident which took place on monday, said the frigate opened fire after efforts to identify an unknown drone were unsuccessful, and none of germany's allies reported a drone in the area. a frigget was deployed to the red sea as part of an eu mission to allegedly secure international shipping from attacks by the yemani army. during recent months yemen's armed forces have launched numerous attacks on israel link. tips in support of the palestinian people in gaza. palestine has risen from the ashes. the nation has gone a long way in its struggle. against the occupation regime of israel from throwing stones to flying drones, but who can deny iran's decades long support in this arduous journey? and now back to our topster, you were a german naval frigate taking part in a european m

they do not target all other ships , they are free to travel through the red sea. farid zakaria is an analyst. and the american writer, proving that the yemeni's motivation is only to support palestine , said that the yemenis had stopped their attacks during the ceasefire. the only time these militants stopped their attacks was when an 8-day ceasefire was established between israel and hamas. have a nice day, dear compatriots. hello, dear viewers of football magazine, welcome to our program jah, the nation of asian nations, jordan made it to the final match for the first time. well, we are talking to mr. saeed lotfi, a football expert from the past of my country's good football players. mr. lotfi is very happy. respect to the people of iran, dear viewers , i proudly present it to you, mr. lotfi, the games of this period, especially the jordan and kale game tonight, showed how little we know about football, that is , the predictions we make and the conversations we say really show football. why is it attractive and every moment a change of your opinion about tonight

i'm how much enjoying the red sea. it's one of the busiest shipping roots in the world, and one that's been a source of contention for some time for everything fighters, indiana, and they have been targeting vessels. they say are linked to israel since the war on cause that began. they've also recently banned ships from the us and britain from their surrounding waters. vessels being re routed, have caused considerable delays and come at a high cost. the us and u. k. of launch several air strikes against the crew, the targets and yemen. in an effort to stop the attacks on ships, they're also launching a multinational force to protect trade, which the u is now joining. so is the red sea now becoming fully militarized, and should protecting trade outweigh other issues? we'll put that to our guess 1st, this report from my hobby. what's that british owed cargo ship island is the latest merchant ship to be targeted by humans with the rebels just days earlier, another u. k registered ship, the ruby mail was hit. it now stands

and international vessels often transiting the red sea. coalition forces targeted 13 locations striking 36 houthi targets associated with the houthi's deeply buried weapon facilities, air defense systems and radars, all capabilities houthi militias used to attack merchant and navy vessels in the region. secretary austin said this collective action sends a clear message to the houthis they'll continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks. the u.s. has taken unilateral act and self-defense to destroy missile launchers loaded to be fired and unmanned service vessels prepared for deployment by the houthis which posed a imminent threat to merchant vessels and u.s. navy ships in the region as well as intercepting missiles fired in the red sea. the u.s. does not want escalations and the strikes are in response to the action of the iranian backed houthis. however, we'll not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of one of the most critical waterways. shifting gears, deputy secretary of defense kathleen hecks pr

huty reiterated that san will continue with military operations in the red sea until israel stops itsalestinians. huthy also slammed the arab media for repeating us and british rhetoric against yemen. he once again called on yemeni people to mobilize for another rally in solidarity with palestinians on friday. the yemani army spokesman yahya sari explains the country's recent operations in solidarity with palestinians in gaza and in response to the us, the american british aggression against the country, listen. the yemeni armed forces carried out three specific military operations as follows: the first one, our missile and uav forces fired the number of ballistic missiles and drones at various targets of the designist enemy in ilat, south of occupied palestine. regarding the second operation in the gulf of aden, the yemani army's neighbor. forces conducted an operation against a british ship in the gulf of eden, using a number of suitable naval missiles that directly hit it, causing a fire to break out on the vessel. as for the third operation, an american destroyer in the red sea wa

attempting to do the... as a strategic move, but they failed, the the traffic is very normal in the red sea, tens of ships uh go through or sail through the rid sea every day and nothing happens to these ships as long as they tell the yemeny naval forces that they have no link to israel or the us or the uk, nothing is happening in the red sea, the ships that are a target, legitimate target for the yemen army are the british, the american and israeli linked vessels and any new force that will... join these three countries and fighting the yemen people and oppressing the people in palestine will also be legitimate target for the yemeni army and we've heard the uh last week or the past week the european union saying that they will send troops and forces and chips to the red sea to protect what they call the international navigation maritime but if they did this they will absolutely join the list of the yeameni army to be legitimate targets for the naval forces. thank you very much for that, abdul latif there from sona, we appreciate it abdul latif. moving on, the un agency for palestinian refu

leader of yemen's ansur allah movement vows to continue the targeting of israel bound ships in the red sea until the regime ends its genocidal war and lifts the siege on the gaza strip. abdul malik al-huthi said israel and his backers must realize that they can't break the resolve of the yemani people. alhuthi also. touched upon the continuation of israeli aggression against palestinians in the wake of the recent icj ruling, he noted that the international institutions cannot make just and effective decisions regarding israel's crimes due to american influence. alhuthi added that the west moral bankrupcy is evident in their recent move to cut funding for the un agency for palestinian refugees. he also slammed arab countries for exporting goods to the israel regime, calling it an act of betrayal as pes palestians are starving to death in the besieged gaza strip. now the yemeny army says it has targeted the british vessel that was its way to ports in the occupied palestinian territories. yemen's army spokesman yahyasari said the british commercial ship was targeted with appropriate naval mis

security in the red sea can only be ensured through diplomatic methods. of moscow was voiced today by sergei lavrov. at the same time, the head of the russian foreign ministry emphasized, that the us and british strikes on yemen have expanded the geography of hostilities, which is affecting civilian ships. not only them. israel today accused the houthis of damaging four submarine cables in the red sea. in response, the yemeni government suspected the americans and zionists of sabotage. our political observer alexander khristenko is monitoring the situation. the houthis launch an underwater strike. this, if you follow israeli media reports, happened at the bottom of the red sea, where the main internet cables connecting entire countries and continents. egypt. initial assessments indicate that the damage to the submarine cable occurred in the red sea area, and other cables in the area appear to have been affected. according to a company representative, everything happened at a depth of 150 to 170 m. apparently there were also. between europe and asia, and t

he said that it was the us that militarized the red sea. army has been targeting israely run and israeli bound ships sailing through the red sea to push the regime to end the genocide in the gaza strip. yemany forces also attacked american and british vessels after the two countries launched air strikes on yemen. multiple political factions in iraq are demanding the withdrawal of the us forces from the country's territory. the factions say this is in line with the parliamentary ratification that called on all foreign forces to leave iraq. the country's first deputy parliament speaker says the ratification should be promptly implemented. the popular mobilization units have also called on the government to defend the national sovereignty and dignity. the pmo chief says this is done when iraq is perged of all foreign presence. you while the islamic resistance in iraq says that. will continue military operation against the us until american forces pull out of the west asian country. the developments come after us and british launched air strike

carrier in the red sea, where tonight the u.s. military continues to target and respond to attacks by the iranian-backed houthi rebels in yemen. nbc news is the only broadcast outlet -- with navy ships as they continue to target these houthis. now on friday, the u.s. shot down a rebel drones over the red sea and gulf of aden. also on friday, the u.s. targeted for houthi drones inside of yemen, that they deemed to be an imminent threat against commercial shipping and military ships operating throughout this region. despite the continued strikes by the u.s., and the strikes by british military, the houthi rebels remain defiant tonight. now, it's also important to point, out defense officials point out that these strikes the u.s. has been carrying out are not part of the overall mission here, called operation prosperity guardian, to defend against houthis attacks. and in fact, defense officials say that they are taking these strikes under their self- defense authority as they see some of these drones as a potential imminent threat. n

that is why we hope the difficulties in the red sea will be l difficulties in the red sea will be taken conflict but rather we would see a diminution of it. let me touch on one hot topic on the table at abu dhabi, e—commerce which covers everything from streaming services to cloud computing. it is the fastest—growing part of global trade and up until now there has been disagreement that there are no tariffs on one of those things, but that's due to expire this year. i'm wondering, what are the dangers if an extension isn't agreed? how will affect consumers? the an extension isn't agreed? how will affect consumers?— an extension isn't agreed? how will affect consumers? the moratorium on customs duties _ affect consumers? the moratorium on customs duties on _ affect consumers? the moratorium on customs duties on electronic - customs duties on electronic transmissions has been extended at the wto for the past 20 years and there is research to make them permanent or at the very least extend them but there are some members who think differently about this. so far the majority of members are

air strikes began in the wake of the yemani attacks in the red sea. attention. are on the rise in the red sea over us-israely genocide in gaza. israel and its western backers are now feeling the pinch as the yemini army continues its attacks on israeli and israeli balance ships as well. american and british vessels, we discussed this earlier with our guests in our news review program. now the leader of yemensar movement says his country will intensify operations in the red sea. and we will escalate also our operations in this regard. as well we have escalated in quality and in quantity, we have effectively used the rockets and the drones and even the vessels, the naval vessels as well, we have also entered submarines as well, which is something that has confused the enemy and also terrorized the enemy and also the sea, we have targeted 48 vessels in the... and the arab c and this is very significant number hoousi said the us is not capable of intercepting newly developed yemini rockets and submarines. he said the us and the uk have failed to limit yem

some of you k have had warships in the red sea for some time now. so what you really have to see besides is do you have any kind of shipping in doing its part to try to restore security in the right? seeing what you heard from representatives of the government. speaking in the debates on this, in the, in the bonus tag during the day today was that they were very much framing us in that, in that way that germany has a responsibility as a country, the benefits a lot from international trade. just as of the e u countries do to try to assure the security of this trade route, that is now, so it must be under the threats it is already disrupting is we just started in the report that i and i see you can see from the overwhelming majority that the folks got in parliament with those and over 90 percent of the of the members of parliament who participated in the vote fighting full. this is the best white support for that change on the politics. now all of that said, the german born does, it is limited to escorting ships through the red sea y, as in germany, t

at the heart of this is the importance of the shipping lane through the red sea.he uk but it matters a great deal to a lot of people in this country because of the potential of prices going up. ships having to take a huge journey around the continent of africa rather than through the red sea. that is their justification for doing it. they say this is an self—defence, that they will continue to act alongside the americans. again, the worry is what is the endgame? with any military intervention overseas there is a risk it ends up being far more than you intended. wait and see whether this does actually have an impact in terms of degrading the houthis�* ability to carry out strikes on ships but if the attacks keep coming you would expect the uk and its allies to respond in kind. a woman has died following an incident involving two dogs in essex. essex police say a man has also been arrested following the attack in the village of jaywick — on suspicion of dangerous dog offences. the police say a woman was seriously injured yesterday the afternoon and prounounced dead

what is the effect of the red sea without zionist ships in regional equations? a few months after the zionists announced they claimed that they are looking for the assassination of yahya senwar, one of the senior leaders of hamas, in a film. he was found the spokesman of the zionist regime claims to have obtained the camera images of one of the hamas tunnels , which show that yahya sanwar was present in this tunnel 3 days after the al-aqsad storm operation. after the release of these images, the hebrew publication hearts quoted the zionist asrai family and wrote, "if the army's purpose in releasing this film is psychological warfare against hamas and its leaders." it is possible to assure senwar that this film will not harm the hamas group in the slightest. i will discuss this with mr mohammadi thani, an expert on west asian issues, who is with us in jahan studio today. welcome mr. mohammadi sani. as a first question, i would like to ask if this picture is of people. what is the message of publishing it at this time and the fact that this picture belongs to 3 da

>> and brits have two warships in the red sea hms diamond and richmond.the united states in this where the only other country to carry out strikes against iran proxy forces the french also have warships in the red sea it should be noted they also shutdown some drones. but in terms of offense of strikes the brits have done that. this does appear considering it's over two dozen strikes against the houthis rebels inside yemen and massive iranian proxy force inside yemen. this appears to be part of a coordinated campaign after the massive b-1 strike yesterday against iraq and syria that destroyed 85 targets. arthel: coordinated campaign with the brits. wondering if the french would get involved now? >> exactly, arthel should be noted the big question is what comes next? suffer the strikes that have taken place for nearly a month now and yemen have not stopped the houthis rebels from launching attacks against commercial shipping. we've seen the map we've seen the cargo ships the commercial vesselbuses going around the hof africa not going to the red sea. not g

all other ships are free to travel through the red sea.this action also goes back to their support for the palestinians. farid zakaria, analyst and writer the american also proved that the motivation of the yemenis is only to support palestine and said that the yemenis had stopped their attacks during the ceasefire. the only time the military stopped their attacks this night was when the 8-day ceasefire between israel and hamas broke. and now some news from america . the president of the united states claimed in his new gaffe that he had a conversation with the former president of france who died about 30 years ago. in his speech in las vegas, biden referred to the g7 meeting three years ago when he was elected president. he also brought francois mitterrand to instead. france introduced the president of germany, but he corrected his speech again, but he did not realize that mitterrand died in 1996 and is not the president of france now. the white house corrected biden's gaffe in a written statement after the speech. said, you know, what, w

naval warships in the red sea since november 2023. the houthis have used drones, missiles and small boats to target both commercial and naval vessels across the southern red sea, the strait, the gulf of aden and the arabian sea. companies had to reroute ships around africa increasing shipping costs and travel times. normally an estimated 12% of the international trade amounting to over $1 trillion in goods navigate through the red sea and the suez canal annually. since the houthi attacks began, freight rates of east asia to europe have searched over 200%. 200%. since october 2023 the houthis have used an alarming array of increasingly sophisticated weapons, including cruise missiles and land attack cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned surface vessels, essentially remote-controlled bomb boats, and anti-ship ballistic missiles, or a sbm and making the houthi the first in the world to deploy ballistic missiles against ships come signaling a sophisticated leap in the military capabilities which now aligned with those of onl

european union announced its mission to protect merchant ships in the red sea. operations only at sea only in a defensive mode. but how will the houthis respond to the european armada? we are not at all concerned about these reports if they try to attack yemen, as... which count too little money in the alliance budget. this became a wake-up call for many european countries. i think we need to do more to protect ourselves. therefore, in a sense, the eu mission in the red sea can be seen as a prototype of a new military alliance, without the united states. america has a rich history of isolationism towards europe. this was the case in the first world war and the second. the us only entered the fray after japan attacked hawaii, so trump. makes people in europe wake up. a wake-up call for the british this week was the news of the unsuccessful test of the triident ballistic missile. this is the basis of london's nuclear shield. the missile lost control immediately after launch and exploded only miraculously without destroying the submarine, inside which the minister
