WASHINGTON – "Attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen have forced three-quarters of US-flagged ships to avoid the Red Sea and instead take the long and expensive detour around the southern tip of Africa, the US national security adviser said on March 23.“Seventy-five per cent of our US-flagged shipping now has to go around the southern coast of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal,” Mr Mike Waltz told CBS’ Face the Nation.He added: “The last time one of our destroyers went through the straits there, it was attacked 23 times.”Recent US air strikes against the Iran-backed rebels – the first since President Donald Trump took office in January – have “taken out key Houthi leadership”, including the head of their missile programme, Mr Waltz said.“We’ve hit their headquarters. We’ve hit communications nodes, weapons factories, and even some of their over-the-water drone production facilities.”The Houthis say they have targeted ships in the Red Sea in solidarity with Palestinians since the start of Israel’s Gaza war."
