The US has destroyed three Houthi rebel ships operating in the Red Sea area.
The Houthis are an Iranian-backed military and have been disrupting trading routes since Hamas committed a string of terror attacks on October 7.
The US killed at least ten Houthi fighters and sank three small boats as the rebels attempted to attack a cargo ship twice in 24 hours.
Some of the world's biggest shipping companies are now avoiding the route all together.
Iran, which backs the Houthi rebels, has blamed the UK and the US for the rising regional tension.
