Rishi Sunak, has authorised the start of conflict against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. This is to deter them firing rockets at ships in the Red Sea and Suez Canal. The US and UK have done this in a joint venture. The prime minister, discussed this with Keir Starmer before the deed was done. Iran is backing the Houthi rebels and the danger is - this conflict could bring other actors into the conflict - with the danger of further escalation. Iran has been playing a dangerous game, with proxy wars on many fronts, including the war between Israel and Hamas. What with this and Ukraine, things are hotting up around the world. An ominous start to 2024.
