Guardian News published this video item, entitled “US-UK strikes ‘dealt a blow’ to Houthis in the Red Sea, says Grant Shapps” – below is their description.

The UK defence minister, Grant Shapps, said British action in the Red Sea ‘dealt a blow’ to the Houthis. The pro-Hamas Houthis have said they are targeting ships linked to Israel in the region, despite some of them having no clear connection. The attacks have led shipping companies to divert vessels via a longer route around southern Africa. Shapps said ‘enough was enough’ and the precision strikes in Yemen were authorised in response to Houthi attacks because they ‘chose to ignore’ clear warnings
