Operation Prosperity Guardian

Operation Prosperity Guardian is a US-led military operation to counter Houthi-led attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, formed in December 2023 in response to the Israel-Hamas war. The operation aims to end a blockade imposed by the Houthis on commercial vessels and to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden. The coalition has more than 20 members, with several countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, France, Italy, and Spain declining to participate. The Houthis have launched several attacks on international ships and warships, prompting the coalition to launch airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.learn more on wikipedia
