[HIGHLIGHTS] Houthis threaten Italy with attacks – Middle East crisis reaches Europe

Houthis threaten Italy with attacks – Middle East crisis reaches Europe. EU wants to protect merchant ships from attacks by Houthi rebels from Yemen.

The EU naval operation in the Middle East, which is about to begin, could also protect Merchant ships from possible threats from Iran. The US and Britain are therefore directly attacking Houthi targets in Yemen. Now the Houthi militia is also threatening Italy. Because the country is taking part in the EU maritime mission “Aspides”, it must expect retaliation.
