Houthi threats and US carrier deployment raise tensions in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi movement, also known as Ansarullah, has renewed its threats against shipping in the Red Sea, warning the US against deploying an aircraft carrier to the region. The group also revealed a new 'Red Sea Missile' as part of what it calls a shift in regional deterrence.

In response, the US Navy has moved the aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt into the Red Sea. Meanwhile, the shipping giant Maersk has announced it will resume sailing its vessels through the area, signaling a potential return to normal operations despite the ongoing tensions.
