AL HUDAYDAH - As reports continue to come in about attacks in the Southern Red Sea near Yemen, including an exchange of fire between vessels, U.S. Central Command released a statement saying that the USS Gravely intercepted and shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles while responding to a Houthi attack on a vessel in the region.
“I made clear that Iran shares responsibility for preventing these attacks, given their long-standing support to the Houthis,” he said, adding that they “threaten innocent lives and the global economy.”
Of the latest attacks in the region, Iranian state media cited Amirabdollahian as saying, “The Israeli regime cannot be allowed to commit massacres of women and children and genocide in Gaza and set the region on fire, while the stopping of a Zionist ship in the Red Sea is seen as endangering the security of this economic waterway.”
