00:00 Yemen's Houthi rebels, led by Abdul Malik al-Houthi, has now issued a warning of the
00:07 forthcoming military surprises in their operations in the Red Sea, aiming to support the besieged
00:13 Gaza Strip.
00:15 Since 19 November 2023, they claim to have targeted 54 ships with 384 missiles and drones,
00:21 signalling their commitment to the cause.
00:23 Al-Houthi remarks came amidst ongoing US-British airstrikes in Yemen, which he contends have
00:29 not diminished their military capabilities.
00:32 In addition, just a few days ago, Houthis indicated that they will deploy submarines
00:36 into the Red Sea to intensify operations against the Israel-backed vessels.
00:42 Abdul Malik has also asserted that the Western strikes have failed to curb the momentum or
00:46 deter their operations.
00:48 The Houthis have initiated the response attack to Israeli aggression against Gaza, a conflict
00:53 backed by the US and Britain.
00:56 Sources now indicate that Houthis may hit Yemen's Moqah or UAE island land route.
01:02 Furthermore, the Houthis maintain that the Red Sea operation will persist until Israel
01:07 ceases its assault on Gaza Strip.
01:10 Their actions have disrupted global shipping routes, compelling companies to seek longer
01:14 routes and costlier alternatives along southern Africa.
01:17 Additionally, there are concerns that the conflict in Gaza could escalate, destabilising
01:22 the wider Middle East region.
01:24 The US and Britain commenced airstrikes against Yemen in January, prompting the Houthis to
01:29 expand their targets to include American and British vessels.
01:33 This escalation underscores the deepening complexity of the conflict and the potential
01:37 risk of further destabilisation in the region.
01:41 Houthi insurgency has been a persistent challenge in Yemen's multifaceted conflict.
01:46 Their ability to sustain operations in the Red Sea despite international intervention
01:50 underscores their resilience and determination.
01:53 Moreover, their alignment with the Gaza cause reflects broader regional dynamic and geopolitical
01:58 alignment.
01:59 The situation poses significant challenges for regional stability and maritime security
02:04 if the surprises come true.
02:06 The disruptions of the shipping lane in the Red Sea adds to existing tensions in a region
02:11 already fraught with tension and geopolitical rivalries.
02:14 And now, Houthis are threatening a world of more surprises.
02:18 And so, the efforts to de-escalate the situation and find a peaceful solution to the Yemen
02:24 conflict remains paramount.
