2 Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Yemen signal will to attack as Iran-US tensions high
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have attacked over 100 ships, pressuring Israel amid rising U.S. military presence including USS Abraham Lincoln in the Red Sea corridor.
- On Monday, Yemen's Houthi rebels threatened new attacks on ships in the Red Sea shipping corridor as USS Abraham Lincoln and guided-missile destroyers moved toward the region, while U.S. officials said ships were moved "just in case" of action following President Donald Trump's threats over Iran.
- Protests in Iran began on Dec. 28, ignited by a fall in the rial, with activist networks reporting more than 41,280 arrests and HRANA citing 5,848 dead amid a more-than-two-week internet blackout.
- The Houthis' prior campaign showed over 100 ships attacked in the Red Sea, a video captioned `Soon` signaled more threats, and Iran unveiled an Enghelab Square banner targeting the USS Abraham Lincoln.
- Gen. Reza Talaei-Nik, Iranian Defense Ministry spokesperson, warned Monday that any attack would `be met with a response that is more painful and more decisive than in the past` and Iran would maintain full preparedness, Iranian state television reported.
- The standoff threatens Red Sea trade after a campaign that hit over 100 ships, while Iran is still reeling from a 12-day war and a Sunday notice banning small private aircraft.
