Operation Prosperity Guardian

Gulf of Aden
Iran's Islamist Proxies in the Middle East

Description

Folowing multiple terror attacks in the Red Sea by Islamic Republic of Iran's[1][2][3][4][5] proxy Houthis jihadists[6] on commercial ships, on December 18, 2023 the White House said 'Operation Prosperity Guardian' will counter Houthi threats against ships in Red Sea. [7] John Kirby saying: 'These attacks have to stop. They need to stop. They’re unacceptable.'

To (that) date, Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched at least 100 attacks with one-way drones and ballistic missiles, targeting 10 merchant vessels that represent more than 35 different nations, according to a readout of a virtual meeting between security group participants.'

“Operation Prosperity Guardian is bringing together multiple countries to include the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles and Spain to jointly address security challenges in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the goal of ensuring freedom of navigation for all countries and bolstering regional security and prosperity,” said Lloyd Austin on that day.[8]

A day later, a top Houthi official said: "we have capabilities to sink your fleet, your submarines, your warships," according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency. "The Red Sea will be your graveyard."[2]

Opportunistic Iranian attacks

Part of Islamic fascist republic of Iran domination.[9][5][4]

The Houthi opportunistic[10] attacks began after the other Iran linked in the Middle East, the Arab "Palestinian" Islamist Gaza dictatorship Hamas regime's onslaught on Oct 7, triggering the Swords of Iron and followed[1] by another Iran proxy Hezbollah attacks on Israeli civilians, as well as attacks on US by Iran linked militias in Iraq and from Iranian bases in Syria.

Economic goals

The goal is to free the movement of international shipping in the Red Sea, as the closure of the Red Sea and Suez Canal will have a long term global, inflationary effect due to disruption of supply chains. Sources say a ship can make only 3 or 4 Asia to Europe roundtrips a year by detouring around the Cape of Good Hope rather than 4 or 5 through the Suez Canal, "a massive structural drop in supply capacity."[11]

    What Houthis believe.

    The Houthis' ideology can be deduced from their motto: "[Allah] is great, death to the US, death to Israel, curse the Jews, and victory for Islam."

    In their territory in northern Yemen, they have adopted a strict Islamist order with an anti-Western and anti-Israel bent.
