The Houthi movement, an Iran-aligned militant group based in Yemen, has increasingly targeted international commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, citing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. These persistent attacks on vital maritime shipping lanes have disrupted global trade, prompted multinational naval responses, and raised significant concerns regarding regional security and the stability of international supply chains. Drawing on reporting from global outlets like the BBC, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times, this tag tracks the evolution of the group’s ideology, the strategic impact of their maritime operations, and the ongoing efforts by international coalitions to secure one of the world’s most critical waterways.
