I am watching with interest the ongoing conflict between the Houthis of Yemen (a radical Islamist group) and the United States Navy. The Houthis have been attacking merchant ships and US ships in the Red Sea. So far several merchant ships have been damaged but the US warships and aircraft have not been hit. However, they have shot down many drones and missiles coming at them and have sunk at least 3 Houthi boats. The Houthis are saying they are attacking to show support for Hamas and Iran. If the Houthis cause serious damage to a US craft, this conflict could globalize quickly.
