Recent attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on commercial and
military vessels in the Red Sea have rekindled concerns about
maritime security.
Centuries of Western dominance at sea facilitated global power
projection and secured vital trade routes. However, emerging
powers and insurgent groups now challenge this supremacy.
The Houthi assaults have disrupted global maritime trade, raising
insurance premiums and forcing ships to reroute, leading to delays
and cost escalations. The US and UK’s airstrikes on Houthi
positions underscore their commitment to preserving freedom of
navigation, crucial for the global economy. The potential impact of
similar tactics in the Strait of Hormuz looms large, highlighting the
fragility of maritime security.
