The Yemen War and Red Sea Crisis
Yemen's civil war — the world's worst humanitarian crisis for much of the past decade — has taken on new dimensions with the Houthi movement's campaign against Red Sea shipping. Since late 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have launched over 100 attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, disrupting one of the world's most vital shipping lanes through which 12% of global trade normally passes.
The underlying Yemeni conflict pits the Houthi forces (Ansar Allah) controlling northern Yemen including the capital Sana'a against the internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led coalition. After years of devastating warfare that killed hundreds of thousands and created famine conditions, a fragile truce has held since 2022 — but the Red Sea attacks have drawn the Houthis into the broader Israel-Gaza regional conflict.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the Houthis attacking Red Sea shipping?
The Houthis say their attacks on Red Sea shipping are in solidarity with Palestinians during the Israel-Gaza war. They claim to target Israeli-linked vessels but have attacked a wide range of commercial ships. The attacks serve multiple purposes: signaling Iran-backed deterrence, raising the Houthis' regional profile, and imposing economic costs on nations supporting Israel.
How do Yemen attacks affect global trade?
Red Sea attacks have forced many shipping companies to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, adding 10-14 days to Asia-Europe routes and significantly increasing shipping costs and insurance premiums. This has impacted consumer goods prices, energy transport costs, and supply chain reliability globally.
