Houthi Fighters board the Galaxy Leader ship in the Red Sea
Reuters – Dec 22, 2023
Iran was “deeply involved” in planning operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and its intelligence was critical to enable Yemen’s Houthi movement to target ships, the White House said on Friday.
Iran-backed Houthis, who say their attacks are in support of Palestinians under siege by Israel in Gaza, have targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea with drones and missiles, forcing shippers to change course and take longer routes around the southern tip of Africa.
“We know that Iran was deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea. This is consistent with Iran’s long-term materiel support and encouragement of the Houthis’ destabilizing actions in the region,” White House national security spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
“This is an international challenge that demands collective action,” Watson said.
Iran denies involvement in attacks by the Houthis in the Red Sea.
The U.S. last week announced a naval coalition involving 20 countries aimed at helping safeguard vessels from attacks in the Red Sea. Some of the countries involved have said operations to protect commercial traffic will be as part of existing naval agreements.

I believe that has been the plan for many a year since the deposed leader Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
Former Shah of Iran was overthrown.
All so-called leaders of Iran after him have been crypto-jews.
On the grand scheme of things surely Iran too is involved! : )
Iran may provide intelligence to Yemen on what ships are owned by filthy rich Zionists, but seriously these guys are bright, they now use speedboats effectively, can board ships and more importantly can damage ships “enough” with effective use of drones and missiles to create the effect without the side effects!
Nowadays they have to say it is the Great Evil Iran, because how else can they justify their defeats against Hamas, Hooties, Heznollahs, Hashed, hetcetra…!
Like Saudis, when Aramco was in flames and smoke, they said it was Iran, because if it was AnsarAllah(hooties) then they would look really bad.
@ Lurch
Mossadeq was overthrown in order to clear the way for the Shah. He was completely an MI6/CIA creation. He was in turn overthrown (and later murdered) in order to put in the Ayatollah (who had been living comfortably in France for many years prior – which alone gives you a clue that all is not what it seems).
The Ayatollah was not a Western agent, but it was believed that being a fundamentalist he would then trigger the Middle Eastern war that USrael wanted. Only he didn’t- he was too clever for that.
