The Defence Secretary signalled that the UK and Western allies could take action against Iranian-backed Houthis if attacks in the Red Sea continue, as he warned “watch this space”.
It comes after UK and US naval forces destroyed “multiple attack drones” deployed by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, believed to be the largest attack yet from the Yemen-based force.
Grant Shapps warned that further action would be taken if attacks persist, amid growing global concern about the disruption in the key global shipping route.
He also said that he believed the Houthis, a Shiite group which has held Yemen’s capital since 2014, were acting with the support of Iran.
“Be in no doubt at all Iran is guiding what is happening there in the Red Sea, providing them not just with equipment to carry out those attacks but also often with the eyes and ears to allow those attacks to happen,” he told Sky News.
“We must be clear with the Houthis, that this has to stop and that is my simple message to them today and watch this space.”
Ian Collins discusses the attacks with former Military Intelligence Officer Phillip Ingram who says the Houthi rebels are on their “final, final warning”.
