The United States (US) and 12 allies issued an ultimatum to Yemen's Houthi rebels on Wednesday to cease their ongoing attacks on vessels in the Red Sea or potentially face targeted military action. While refusing to detail rules of possible engagement if the attacks continue, a senior US official underscored that the Iran-backed Houthis shouldn't expect "another warning" from America and its allies.
