The United States and its allies delivered a stern message to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, cautioning them to cease their assaults on vessels in the Red Sea or be prepared to face significant repercussions.

As reported by the U.S. Central Command, the Iran-supported Houthis have launched 24 attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea since Nov. 19. The U.S. emphasized its intent to unequivocally communicate a warning to the Houthis about their ongoing hostile actions.
