In a surprising turn of events, NATO has expressed its support for the recent US and British strikes in Yemen, considering them defensive measures against Houthi aggression. British Foreign Minister David Cameron stated that the UK is prepared to take additional actions “in self-defense,” emphasizing the ongoing Royal Navy patrols in the Red Sea aimed at deterring further Houthi attacks.
While the US and UK defend their actions as necessary to curb Houthi aggression, Russia strongly condemns the strikes, branding them as illegitimate under international law. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reiterated Russia’s stance, highlighting that Moscow did not support a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate end to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea.
The situation unfolds against the backdrop of mass demonstrations in Yemen, expressing opposition to the US and British involvement. As tensions escalate, the international community closely watches how these conflicting perspectives will impact the already complex geopolitical landscape in the region.
