The U.S. is considering the establishment of a naval task force to protect Red Sea shipping following recent attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The White House is currently in discussions with allies about setting up the escorts, a response to the escalating maritime attacks in the region.

The recent attacks have raised concerns about the safety of one of the world's most vital shipping lanes. The Houthi rebels in Yemen have targeted commercial vessels, including those linked to Israel, in the Red Sea. The U.S. has stated that these attacks were enabled by Iran and has vowed to coordinate with international allies in response.

The Navy destroyer USS Carney was involved in an incident where it shot down three drones launched by the Houthi rebels during ballistic missile attacks on three commercial ships in the Red Sea. The attacks took place in international waters over a span of seven hours. The Houthis claimed responsibility for two of the attacks against the commercial ships but did not mention the attack on the Navy ship.

The attacks took place in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, an important shipping route. The Houthis are reportedly targeting the route to impose financial costs on Israel and undermine its security. However, the Israeli military has stated that the ships had no connection to Israel.

The U.S. destroyer Carney responded to distress calls and shot down two drones. The attacks pose a threat to international commerce and have led to fears of a potential wider conflict in the Middle East.
