The War Zone website reported on Sunday, citing a Pentagon official who requested anonymity, that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, during his upcoming trip to the Middle East next week, is set to unveil an international initiative called Prosperity Guardian.

The purpose of this program is to safeguard ships in the Red Sea from potential operations carried out by the Yemeni resistance following recent attacks on vessels from the US and UK.

The Pentagon official did not provide details on the specific countries participating in the operation or the nature of their assigned missions but he did mention that their activities would include patrolling the Red Sea, Bab Al-Mandab Strait, and Gulf of Aden.

Earlier on Sunday, the White House announced that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin would head the US presidential delegation to Kuwait to express condolences following the passing of Emir Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

A few days prior, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder had stated that Austin would soon travel to the Middle East for meetings with the leaders of Bahrain, Qatar, and "Israel."

The resistance in Yemen has been in recent weeks conducting a series of operations targeting US, Israeli, and British ships in the Red Sea due to their complicity in the Gaza genocide.

In the latest incident, military vessels from the US and the UK allegedly intercepted 14 drones launched by the Yemeni resistance on early Saturday morning.

The resistance in Yemen has stated multiple times that they will continue to block the passage of ships connected to Israeli companies or destined for "Israel" in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea until the cessation of the Israeli-led genocide in Gaza.

For the same reasons, the Iraqi resistance has likewise been waging a series of operations targeting US occupation bases in both Syria and Iraq.

Meanwhile, the resistance in Lebanon is continuing to exchange fire with the Israeli regime at the Lebanon-Palestine borders.
