The U.S. issued a joint statement with a coalition of allies over the attacks earlier this month, saying, “The Houthis will bear the responsibility for the consequences should they continue to threaten lives, the global economy, or the free flow of commerce in the region’s critical waterways.”
In late December, the Pentagon announced the formation of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a multi-national maritime task force that would counter the Houthi attacks.
The American and British warships that countered this latest Houthi attack are all participating in that operation.
