British Foreign Secretary threatens Houthis with consequences for attacks on ships
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] New attacks by Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels on ships in the Red Sea will have consequences for them, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron
...Empty suit Brit pol, former PM, has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel...
said on January 4, as quoted by Rooters.

"The world economy, the economy of every country, will suffer if ships continue to be attacked, which is completely illegal and unacceptable. These attacks must stop, otherwise measures will be taken," he said, in particular.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
he did not answer the journalists’ clarifying question about what specific measures might be discussed.

As Regnum reported, on December 30, in the Red Sea from areas controlled by the Houthis, missiles were fired at a container ship of the Danish company Maersk, which was sailing under the flag of Singapore. The carrier has suspended ship movements in the area indefinitely.

In early January, several merchant ships in the southern Red Sea reported ballistic missiles being fired towards them from Yemen. The Houthis also attacked the French carrier CMA CGM's Tage.

A representative of the movement assured that gunnies will continue to attack ships heading to Israel, adding that attempts at counteraction by the United States will not be left unanswered.
But actually, as has been noted before, the Houthis will aim in the general direction of anything they think they can hit that is not connected to Iran, Russia, or China. Lack of an Israeli connection is immaterial.
Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the alarming events in the Red Sea are a projection of the violence in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
