British Defense Minister on Potential Further Strikes Against Houthis: We Will Wait and See What Happens

British Defense Minister Grant Shapps said on Monday that Britain "will wait and see" before deciding on new military strikes against the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen to protect international shipping. In response to a question from Sky News about whether Britain would carry out more strikes, Shapps said, "Let's wait and see what happens; it's not that we want to participate in a move in the Red Sea. But freedom of navigation is ultimately an international right."
