Several countries, including the United States, have agreed to launch joint patrols in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden under the initiative named Operation Prosperity Guardian. The purpose is to protect commercial shipping from attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

Participating nations include Bahrain, Britain, Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain, among others. The multinational effort is a response to recent Houthi attacks on commercial vessels, with the initiative aiming to secure maritime activities in the region.

The extent of the participating countries' commitment, including whether they will engage in military actions like shooting down Houthi missiles and drones, remains uncertain. The move underscores collective international action to address the challenge posed by Houthi attacks on shipping lanes and their expansion of conflicts beyond Yemen. The Houthis, supported by Iran, have targeted vessels heading to Israel, prompting the establishment of this security initiative.
