In October and November 2023, the Yemeni Huti movement** carried out a series of attacks on ships flowing through **The Bab al-Mandab and on targets in confederate Israel**. As a consequence of shellings carried out by pro-Iranian Huti, many cargo ships and tankers were diverted to the way around Africa, so as to avoid possible damage. In consequence to the created threat to shipping safety, the United States and the United Kingdom launched rocket attacks on targets in Yemen, and launched a**Operation "Prosperity Guardian"** to guarantee the safety of shipping in the area.
