Military and economic pressure needed to end Houthi attacks

The response to attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthis must be "multi-faceted", British and American admirals have said, as experts increasingly question the effectiveness of US and UK strikes against the Yemeni group.

"It has always been made really clear that no one single thing will persuade the Houthis to desist," Admiral Sir Ben Key, First Sea Lord of the UK Royal Navy, told a media briefing in Paris.

"It has to be part of a strategy, a number of factors, both external persuasion and an indication of the fact that the international community will not put up with this threat to the rules-based international system."

The US and the UK on Thursday for the first time issued sanctions against Houthi officials for their role in supporting or directing attacks on commercial shipping.

The sanctions come three weeks after Washington, with occasional support from London, launched a bombing campaign against Houthi military targets in Yemen.

Those sanctioned were Defence Minister Mohamed Nasser Al Atifi, commander of the Houthi Naval Forces Muhammad Fadl Abd Al Nabi, coastal defence forces chief Muhammad Ali Al Qadiri and Muhammed Ahmad Al Talibi, who the two governments described as the Houthi forces' director of procurement.

They will be subject to asset freezes, arms embargoes and travel bans.

The group has conducted dozens of attacks against commercial ships since November but has so far given no indication that it intends to stop.

The war in Gaza is the reason for the attacks, says the group, which wants to pressure Israel into a ceasefire.

But analysts say that this is just a pretext to raise the Houthis' international profile.

"It really has to be the full-court press, whether it's diplomatic, whether it's the information space, military or economic," Admiral Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations at the US navy, told reporters at a naval conference organised by the French Institute of International Relations.

It's not affordable to pass a message that any state or militia can blackmail international trade

"The collective we can use all those levers of national power to really make them understand exactly the impact they're having and that it needs to stop right now," she said in response to a question from The National.

So far, the international community has failed to discourage Houthi attacks, raising fears of global trade disruption, wider inflation and copycat operations. The Red Sea normally carries more than 12 per cent of the world’s seaborne trade.

"It's not affordable to pass a message that any state or militia can blackmail international trade," said Alessandro Marrone, defence programme director at Italian think tank Istituto Affari Internazionali.

"It would be a huge problem for economic and energy security."

'Lightning rod'

Yet with its military response to the attacks, the US has become, once again, a "lightning rod" to increase the Houthis' popularity, said Kelly Grieco, senior fellow at US think tank the Stimson Centre.

"Unfortunately, the US can be a very effective lightning rod to galvanise these groups," Ms Grieco told The National. "We saw it in [the 2003 US invasion of] Iraq, and we're seeing it once again here."

Emma Salisbury, associate researcher at the UK think tank Council on Geostrategy, said: "The Houthis benefit from being in conflict with the West. Their political incentive is conflict and Gaza is their excuse."

Last week, US President Joe Biden recognised that striking Houthi positions on land had not deterred their attacks at sea, but said that his country would continue bombing the group.

“Are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they going to continue? Yes,” Mr Biden told reporters.

Such statements have been widely interpreted as Washington indicating that it is unable to find a way out of its failed strategy in the Red Sea.

"It looks like we are escalating right now without actually being able to solve the military problem," said Ms Grieco.

Some western countries such as France have avoided joining US strikes, because of fears of further regional escalation.

Diplomacy, not military escalation, is the proper response to the crisis, said French President Emmanuel Macron last week.

The focus of diplomatic efforts should be on Iran, said Ms Salisbury. Tehran supports the Houthis militarily and is subject to western sanctions over its nuclear programme and human rights abuses.

"Sanctions is their historical issue. There is much we can build on diplomatically," she said.

"There is a need to pressure Iran to restrain the Houthis, to stop giving them money and tell them to calm down."

In December, Washington also launched a maritime coalition called Prosperity Guardian that includes more than 20 countries.

The EU is expected to soon follow suit with a parallel defensive naval mission. Bringing in non-western world powers such as China would boost the credibility of these missions, said Ms Grieco.

"It's a real opportunity for Washington and Europe to show how competition needs to be balanced with co-operation in areas where we have common interests," Ms Grieco told The National.

China has so far stayed out of the Middle East conflict but imports half of its crude oil from the region.

Europe can build on its previous experience in engaging with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz to de-escalate the tensions, said Mr Marrone.

Diplomats in Brussels are working out details to expand a pre-existing French-led naval mission named Agenor.

"They were able to present this initiative to Iran as de-escalatory to maintain safe and secure transit through the Strait of Hormuz," Mr Marrone said.

"If they were able to do so a few years ago, very close to Iranian shores, I think they can and should be able to do it again."

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

Tips to stay safe during hot weather
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
  • Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
  • Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
  • Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
  • Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
  • Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

Three trading apps to try

Sharad Nair recommends three investment apps for UAE residents:

  • For beginners or people who want to start investing with limited capital, Mr Nair suggests eToro. “The low fees and low minimum balance requirements make the platform more accessible,” he says. “The user interface is straightforward to understand and operate, while its social element may help ease beginners into the idea of investing money by looking to a virtual community.”
  • If you’re an experienced investor, and have $10,000 or more to invest, consider Saxo Bank. “Saxo Bank offers a more comprehensive trading platform with advanced features and insight for more experienced users. It offers a more personalised approach to opening and operating an account on their platform,” he says.
  • Finally, StashAway could work for those who want a hands-off approach to their investing. “It removes one of the biggest challenges for novice traders: picking the securities in their portfolio,” Mr Nair says. “A goal-based approach or view towards investing can help motivate residents who may usually shy away from investment platforms.”

What is a robo-adviser?

Robo-advisers use an online sign-up process to gauge an investor’s risk tolerance by feeding information such as their age, income, saving goals and investment history into an algorithm, which then assigns them an investment portfolio, ranging from more conservative to higher risk ones.

These portfolios are made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs) with exposure to indices such as US and global equities, fixed-income products like bonds, though exposure to real estate, commodity ETFs or gold is also possible.

Investing in ETFs allows robo-advisers to offer fees far lower than traditional investments, such as actively managed mutual funds bought through a bank or broker. Investors can buy ETFs directly via a brokerage, but with robo-advisers they benefit from investment portfolios matched to their risk tolerance as well as being user friendly.

Many robo-advisers charge what are called wrap fees, meaning there are no additional fees such as subscription or withdrawal fees, success fees or fees for rebalancing.
