Yemen’s Houthi rebels have signaled their willingness to launch new attacks on ships in the Red Sea corridor.

Meanwhile, Iraq's Kataib Hezbollah has issued threats against any attacks targeting Iran, warning of a “total war.” The U.S. has moved the USS Abraham Lincoln closer to the region amid tensions. Iran has renewed warnings to Israel and the U.S., emphasizing its preparedness for any conflict.
