Houthis Intensify Red Sea Attacks with Third Ship Targeted

Iran-backed Yemeni rebels escalate maritime assaults amid regional tensions over Israel-Hamas conflict.

A ship in the Red Sea was attacked three times on Tuesday, likely by Houthi rebels.
The attacks have disrupted a key maritime route crucial for global trade.
The Houthis' campaign has targeted over 70 vessels since October, killing four sailors.
Iran, the Houthis' main sponsor, is considering retaliation against Israel.
The U.S. has increased its military presence in the region, including deploying aircraft carriers and submarines.
