PM Rishi Sunak: Yemen strikes were a last resort

The prime minister says he "will not hesitate" to protect British security after defence secretary Grant Shapps refused to rule out further action against the Houthis to safeguard the Red Sea.

Rishi Sunak, who will address MPs about the decision to take part in joint airstrikes in Yemen with the US, said the military action was a "last resort" designed to "restore stability" in the region.

It was his 20th visit to Canada, but his first as King. The ceremony blended Commonwealth traditions with Indigenous representation unique to Canada’s identity. #KingCharles #CanadaParliament #SpeechFromTheThrone #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousPeoples #LandAcknowledgement #Commonwealth #RoyalVisit #Anishinaabeg #FirstNations #SenateChamber #CanadianHistory #RoyalFamily #QueenCamilla #MarySimon #IndigenousVoices #RCMP #CanadianMilitary #MarkCarney #MonarchyInCanada #ReconciliationNow #BritishMonarchy #InuitVoices #MĂ©tis #RoyalCeremony #BlackRod #GovernorGeneral #ThroneSpeech2025 #CanadaRoyalVisit #CrownInCanada #HistoricMoment Also Read King Charles Now As Rich As Sunak And Murty—Inside His ÂŁ640 Million Wealth :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-now-as-rich-as-sunak-and-murty-inside-his-640-million-wealth-4156711.html?ref=DMDesc King Charles III Briefly Hospitalised For Observation Following Side Effects From Cancer Treatment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-iii-briefly-hospitalised-for-observation-following-side-effects-from-cancer-treatment-4107317.html?ref=DMDesc King Charles III Celebrates Healthcare Workers in Heartfelt Christmas Message Amid Royal Illnesses :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/king-charles-iii-christmas-message-healthcare-workers-011-4025931.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.346~GR.122~

Houthis Vs Israel BREAKING: Houthi Zulfiqar Missiles BOMB Ben Gurion Airport; Panic in Tel Aviv

Houthi forces have reportedly launched Zulfiqar ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, sending shockwaves through Tel Aviv. Explosions were heard across the area, triggering mass panic, flight suspensions, and emergency evacuations. This unprecedented strike marks a dangerous expansion of the Israel-Houthi confrontation and raises alarm over Iran-backed militia reaching deep into Israeli territory. #HouthisAttackBenGurion #BenGurionBombed #BenGurionAirportStrike #HouthiMissileAttack #BenGurionUnderFire #HouthisBombIsrael #BenGurionAirportNews #TelAvivAirportAttack #BenGurionMissileStrike #BenGurionAirportCrisis #IsraelUnderAttack #BenGurionAirportHit #HouthisVsIsrael #BenGurionAirportEmergency #HouthiMissilesIsrael ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~GR.125~

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now! [Video]

Houthis Sink Ship, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea | U.S Demands Hostage Release or Face Brutal Attacks Now!

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes. With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond. #HouthiAttack #RedSeaCrisis #EternityC #USNavy #IranProxyWar #MiddleEastConflict #MaritimeSecurity #CargoShipAttack #BreakingNews #YemenWar #HouthiHostages #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #NavalWarfare #USVsHouthis #GlobalShippingCrisis

‘Eilat Port Shut Forever’ Houthis DECLARE War On Israel | BANS Israeli-Linked Vessels From Red Sea [Video]

‘Eilat Port Shut Forever’ Houthis DECLARE War On Israel | BANS Israeli-Linked Vessels From Red Sea

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings. Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance — and Eilat is no longer open. #RedSeaBlockade #AnsarullahWarning #HouthiVsIsrael #EilatPortClosed #MagicSeasAttack #ETERNITYCStrike #IsraelYemenConflict #YemenSolidarity #GazaResistance #HouthisControlRedSea #YemenNavalBan #IsraelShippingCrisis #AlHouthiSpeech #MaritimeSanctionsIsrael #HudaydahAirstrikes #ZionistBlockadeResponse #ResistanceVsOccupation #IsraelGazaGenocide #GazaCasualties #USBacksIsrael ~HT.410~GR.122~

Houthis Red Sea TAKEOVER: Houthis Tighten Grip On Red Sea, Threaten Western Dominance Over Routes [Video]

Houthis Red Sea TAKEOVER: Houthis Tighten Grip On Red Sea, Threaten Western Dominance Over Routes

A chilling new video shows Houthi militants storming the British-flagged cargo vessel Magic Seas in the Red Sea. Heavily armed fighters board the ship at gunpoint, firing shots as chaos erupts. Within moments, thick smoke engulfs the deck, flames rise, and the ship disappears beneath the waves. This isn’t just an attack—it’s a terrifying message. The Houthis, often underestimated, are declaring symbolic dominance over the strategic Red Sea corridor. The attack sends shockwaves across Western powers that depend on this route for trade, oil, and global connectivity, including critical undersea internet cables. With increasing control over chokepoints like Bab el-Mandeb, the Houthis now pose a geopolitical nightmare that could unravel maritime security, disrupt global commerce, and challenge Western naval dominance. The Red Sea isn’t just boiling with conflict—it’s slipping out of Western control, one ship at a time. #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiAttack #MagicSeas #UKShipAttack #RedSeaSecurity #YemenConflict #HouthisVsWest #MaritimeThreat #GlobalShipping #SeaRouteTensions #BritishCargoShip #UnderseaCables #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #MiddleEastTensions #HouthiPower #WesternShippingThreat #YemenHouthis #BabElMandeb #ShippingUnderFire #RedSeaDominance ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
