The involvement of many multinational forces in the protection of the shipping lanes in the Red Sea stems from the great significance of these lanes for the global economy and the fact that the sea lanes are the lifeblood of the countries of the world. Yesterday's attack on an American tanker proves once again what many in Israel have claimed – the conduct of the Houthis harms the entire world and comes from the drive and motivation to be a significant actor in shaping the control of the sea spaces in the Red Sea and wield influence in the Arabian Peninsula.
Moreover, the Houthi conduct converges with the Iranian motivation to be a regional power with the ability to act and influence the entire region. That is, the activity of the Yemeniorganization is a result and reflection of the desire of the extremist regime in Iran to impose its worldview through its various proxies and through terrorist activities around the world and to influence the international actors in the region.
The recent developments should raise a red flag for all those who tried to deal with Iranian aggression in a soft manner, and once again issue a warning sign to the world, that if it does not act to narrow Iran's steps, a similar fate is expected in other areas and in other dimensions.
