After a merchant sailor, Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk cargo carrier, Tutor went missing from an earlier Houthi strike on a ship, the United States military unleashed a wave of attacks targeting their radar sites. The attacks come as the US Navy faces the most intense combat ever since World War II. “This is the most sustained combat that the US Navy has seen since World War II—easily, no question,” said Bryan Clark, a former Navy submarine and a Hudson Institute senior.
He further commented how these attacks are meant as a measure to control the rebels’ booming rage and competency. Although the rebels believe that these attacks are meant to stop the Israel-Hamas war, they often target ships and sailors who have nothing to do with the war, halving the traffic through the Red Sea corridor, which is vital for cargo and energy shipments between Asia, Europe, and the Mideast.
