Zitat:Iranian warship enters Red Sea in support of Yemen’s Houthishttps://www.naval-technology.com/news/ir...s/?cf-view
With Iran backing the Houthi movement, the risk of naval escalation in the Red Sea has increased as US and UK warships patrol the region's waters. [...]
The Iranian Navy frigate Alborz transited from Iranian waters through the Bab El Mandeb straight and into the Red Sea on 1 January 2024, according to reports from the Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), as tensions in the region heighten following a series of attacks on shipping by the Houthi faction in Yemen. [...]
The Houthis are supported by Iran, with Tehran accused by the US to have been providing weapons and training, including one-way attack drones and cruise missiles. [...] The presence of an Iranian Navy frigate, while not in the same capability class compared to the more modern US and UK warships, adds another element of uncertainty to the worsening maritime security situation.
