YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Britain's defence secretary has warned the UK will not hesitate to take "direct action" against Houthi rebels who have attacked ships in the Red Sea.

The Iran-backed group have been attacking ships which they say are connected to or travelling to Israel.

The Houthis, along with Iran, have pledged support for Hamas following the 7 October attack on Israel.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Grant Shapps wrote: "The Houthis should be under no misunderstanding: we are committed to holding malign actors accountable for unlawful seizures and attacks."

He added: "Continued Red Sea aggression risks miscalculation and escalation which could trigger a region-wide conflict."
