US President Joe Biden said on Saturday that his administration had privately sent a message to Iran regarding attacks by Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, in the Red Sea.
"I’ve delivered — we’ve delivered it privately, and we’re confident we’re well prepared," Biden told reporters when asked whether he had a message for the Iranian government amid Houthi activity in the region.
In November 2023, the Houthis announced their intention to attack any ships associated with Israel, urging other countries to recall their crews from the vessels. The Houthis vowed to continue their attacks until Israel ended its military actions in the Gaza Strip.
On December 19, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the establishment of a multinational operation to secure the Red Sea, saying that the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, the Seychelles, and Spain would take part in the mission. The Houthis vowed to attack any ships that join the US-led maritime coalition.
