The UK will provide defensive military support to Saudi Arabia against attacks from Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, the prime minister has confirmed.
Speaking to reporters while travelling to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Andy Burnham said Saudi Arabia has requested support, “and on the advice of the defence secretary and the foreign secretary, last night I agreed to that request”.
We already face a blockade the houties aren’t exactly discriminating
The current blockade is only on Saudi ships. Ansarallah specifically stated that if others help Saudi they will also get shipping blocks. Burnham is risking the UK economy to help the Saudi regime.
and the UK does use Saudi flagged & owned ships to import and deliver oil and gas. So yes its a already a direct affect on us.
Mate do you know what the Red Sea is? A lot more than Saudi Arabia goes through there.
Here’s an idea: don’t use Saudi flagged and owned ships.
The previous blockade was “only” on Israeli ships or ships visiting Israel. Except the Houthis evidently got bored and started firing on other ships too.
Stupid Yemen enforcing international law on genocidal KKKracker nations.
I remember you people saying Yemen would keep intercepting ships after Hamas accepted a ceasefire. But keep going with the propaganda.
