U.S. Says Iran Is "Directly Involved" in Houthi Ship Attacks
(AP-Washington Post) Jon Gambrell - Iran is "very directly involved" in ship attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, head of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, said Monday. "Clearly, the Houthi actions, probably in terms of their attacks on merchant shipping, are the most significant that we've seen in two generations. The facts simply are that they're attacking the international community; thus, the international response I think you've seen....What we need is a Houthi decision to stop attacking international merchant ships. Period."
