White House spokesperson John Kirby emphasized that the focus is on\u200d encouraging the Houthis to cease their reckless attacks, rather \u2062than escalating the situation further.<\/p>\n<p>The recent attacks by the Houthis on ships in the Red Sea have not only affected\u200d various\u200b companies but have also raised concerns among major world powers. The Houthis claim that their actions are in solidarity with Palestinians, but this\u200b justification has not appeased the international community.<\/p>\n<p>These statements from Kirby come in response to\u2064 the Houthi&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/39-soldiers-awarded-the-purple-heart-after-2020-missile-attack\/\" title=\"39 soldiers awarded the Purple Heart after 2020 missile attack\">ballistic missile strike<\/a> on a U.S.-owned and operated container ship the previous day. Fortunately, no injuries \u200bwere reported from the incident. However, this provocation has further intensified tensions \u2062between the two parties.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of strikes\u200c launched by the United \u2063States and Britain\u200d against the terrorist group, the Houthis have \u200bthreatened to target both\u200b American and British\u2064 ships. This escalation has prompted British oil giant Shell to \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ukraine-says-russia-has-violated-ceasefire-agreement-in-two-cities\/\" title=\"Ukraine Says Russia Has Violated Ceasefire Agreement in Two Cities\">suspend shipments<\/a> through the\u200d Red Sea, fearing potential Houthi attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062situation\u2064 involving the Houthis\u2062 and their aggressive actions\u200b has become a cause for \u200cconcern globally. The United States, through Kirby&#8217;s\u2064 remarks, has implied that a peaceful resolution is still possible if the Houthis make the \u200cright choice\u2062 and halt their \u2064reckless attacks.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how the Houthis will respond to these\u200b calls for de-escalation. The international community, including major \u2063world powers, will closely monitor the situation\u2064 for\u2063 any further developments. \u2062For now, the White House asserts that its primary objective is to avoid war\u200b while encouraging the Houthis to rethink their course of action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kirby stated that the US does not seek war with the Houthis.
