According to Mick Mulroy, an ABC News national security and defense analyst, Iran has provided drone submarines to Yemen’s Houthis.
Iran’s ties to Yemen Along with ballistic missiles, the Houthis have already begun using aerial and sea drones (also known as boat/surface drones) against foreign ships and vessels in the Red Sea. As reported, there have been direct hits on commercial tankers over the past few days.

Unmanned submarines, however, are reportedly still another ‘toy’ that the Houthis, with assistance from Iran, have in their arsenal and that they employed in attacks over the weekend. “The U.S. conducted what it called self-defense strikes on five targets in the Houthi-controlled area of Yemen after the Houthis employed an unmanned submarine for the first time since attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden began, the Pentagon said,” ABC reported, outlining the events of Sunday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin gifted Kim Jong Un a luxury Russian limo made by Aurus after Kim showed keen interest in the vehicle during Putin’s visit last year.
The US-led coalition has had to defend against surface boat drones up until now because they are simpler to detect. However, as a result of Israel’s conflict in Gaza, the Houthis are now waging an even harder-to-detect battle on Red Sea ships.
According to Mick Mulroy, an ABC News national security and defense analyst who used to work for the Pentagon and the CIA, the Houthis are intensifying their attempts to attack a US warship.
“The Houthis and the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] are adjusting their strategy, apparently because they haven’t been successful in striking a U.S. naval vessel,” Mulroy stated. “If one or more of these weapons get through and kill U.S. sailors, Iran should expect to be held directly responsible.”
“The Houthis are not likely capable of manufacturing these weapons on their own, so they are probably coming from Iran,” he explained, and went on to describe the Houthi strategy as seeking to “overwhelm the ship’s defenses” in a “swarm attack.”
