Houthi Say They are Capable of Turning Red Sea into a Graveyard | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Defense Secretary made a surprise visit to a US Navy aircraft carrier stationed off the coast of Israel. Lloyd Austin thanked the nearly 4,000 sailors on the USS Gerald Ford for giving up their holidays to continue their mission of monitoring the war between Israel and Hamas. The other US aircraft carrier in the region, the USS Dwight Eisenhower is patrolling at the mouth of the Red Sea. This, after several commercial vessels have come under attack from Iran-backed Houthi rebels. They say the strikes will continue until Israel stops its bombardment of Gaza. Senior Fellow at the Strauss Center and Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East Policy, Simone Ledeen, joins to talk about the Red Sea and why it's important. The Houthi rebels have said they are capable of turning the Red Sea into a graveyard and will not stop what they call their military operations despite the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian. Ledeen explains what they have to gain by all of this and what their endgame is. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
