 U.S. carries out cyber attack on Iranian warship in the Red Sea. Recently, the United States of America carried out a cyber attack on an Iranian warship in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, which was collecting intelligence on cargo ships, reports NBC News. Three U.S. officials told reporters the cyber attack occurred a week ago as part of Washington's response to a drone attack by Iranian-backed militants in Iraq that killed three U.S. servicemen and wounded dozens in Jordan late last month. The article states that the operation was aimed at disrupting the ship's ability to share intelligence with the Yemeni Houthis who have long attacked commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The article also says that the White House's National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report. Since November of last year, attacks by the Yemeni Houthis on commercial vessels connected to Israel have been continuing in the Red Sea. In January, the terrorist group struck the biggest blow. The U.S. and British militaries repulsed the attack in the Red Sea. In early January, the United States and Britain launched powerful strikes on targets associated with the Houthis in Yemen. This was in response to the Houthis' constant attacks on civilian vessels in the Red Sea. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard intercepted a shipment of weapons from Iran, which was headed for the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
