00:00 Last night, the United States and the United Kingdom launched military strikes against
00:09 Houthi targets in Yemen responding to the Iranian-backed group's persistent attack
00:14 on the ships in the Red Sea.
00:16 Now as the strikes have been concluded and the target has been achieved, United Kingdom's
00:21 Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has released a statement regarding the strikes.
00:26 He emphasises the importance of defending freedom of navigation and has stated that
00:30 limited and proportionate military action was quite necessary in the name of self-defence.
00:36 Rishi Sunak asserted that UK would always stand up for free flow of trade.
00:40 The joint military response, supported by Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands
00:45 and others, sends a strong message against Houthi aggression and aims to protect critical
00:50 commercial routes and mariners' lives.
00:53 Sunak also accused Iran of meddling and declared "enough is enough", indicating the potential
00:59 for a broader conflict in the Middle East.
01:01 The UK's decisive military action aligns with its stance of protecting global trade routes
01:06 and maintaining stability in the region.
01:10 The strikes were reportedly prompted by escalating tensions and major Houthi drone and missile
01:14 attacks prior to this on Tuesday, during which a Royal Navy warship alongside US naval vessels
01:20 and jets successfully thwarted approximately 20 million drones and missiles.
01:25 Sunak's recent comments reflect the UK's commitment to addressing the threats posed by Houthi
01:29 actions and ensuring the security of maritime trade routes.
01:33 The joint statement from the participating governments, including Denmark, Germany, New
01:38 Zealand and South Korea, underscores this shared dedication for upholding freedom of
01:42 navigation, international commerce and the defence of marines.
01:46 The military intervention follows a warning issued a week ago to the Houthi group urging
01:50 them to cease attack on commercial shipping or face consequences.
01:55 Now this joint military response is coming out as a significant development, showcasing
01:59 the determination of the UK and US to address the Houthi provocation decisively.
02:04 However, the experts are now predicting an escalation by Houthi rebels who were caught
02:09 off guard during the attack.
02:10 "This is a very important issue for the United States and the United Kingdom.
02:11 We are not going to let this happen.
