Houthis Warn they will Target Mediterranean Sea Now

[bergun]

OK. The Houthis are planning on targeting shipping in the Mediterranean Sea, near several NATO countries. In return, NATO should target the Houthis since an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all NATO member countries.

The Houthi's have stated that they will target ships destined for Israel, which will not be the vast majority of cruise ships.

As for the Mediterranean it's full of NATO vessels which have the capability to shoot down any Houthi drones, whilst Britain maintains a number of bases on the island f Cyprus (not far from the Israeli coast) including RAF Akrotiri which is also used by US forces, whilst in terms of signals intelligence and radar there are UK bases (which are also used by the US) including the Ayios Nikolaos Station and RAF Troodos.
