There is more to Yemen than this, its split into north and south with the Houthis in the north and the Yemini's in the south. After the British withdrawal from the Protectorate of Aden in 1967 the country went into a civil war and was partitioned into North and South Yemen.
The Soviets got involved and started a border war with Oman on order to invade Oman to give themselves control of the straights of Hormuz. This was stopped by British and Iranian forces in 1978.
There is no such thing as Houthi Rebels, they are just Houthis.
Its a strategic shipping lane, that's why there are not only US and RN war canoes these but Chinese and other nations warships.
Still the primary defenders should be those there who have the ports.
Why can't Yemen and its allies get rid of their own Houthi rebels?? Within their own territories??
Why let them interfere with shipping? Why depend on US to protect their shipping?
Aren't the Arab nations rich to the extreme? Just saying.
