The UK has spoken:

The United Kingdom condemns the Houthis’ reckless and escalatory attacks across the region in conjunction with other Iranian-linked groups. We also reiterate our call on the Houthis '' to cease their attacks in the Red Sea,'' which threaten international shipping.

Recent reports have also shown Houthi links to Al Shabaab. We firmly condemn these actions as part of a wider pattern of Houthi destabilising activity beyond Yemen’s borders.

'' to cease their attacks in the Red Sea!!!'' Get your planes in the air and send them to kingdom come, NOW !!
