After hamas launched its deadly terrorist attack in israel this past october and israel began its unrelenting war in gaza in response, President Biden warned iran and its proxies in the middle east to stay out of it. One of those groups decided instead that it was allin. That group is a shia militia in yemen known as the houthis. Yemen is the poorest country in the middle east, but its 1,200 miles of coastline leads in and out of the suez canal, the primary route by sea between europe and asia, responsible for a trillion dollars a year in global trade. So, when the houthis began to attack commercial ships in solidarity with hamas, President Biden faced a crisis in the red sea and sent the u. S. Navy into its first major fight of the 21st century. Reporter our report begins not on the water but in the air. Where from a u. S. Navy reconnaissance plane 500 feet above the red sea, we were the first journalists to see the types of commercial ships the houthis have targeted, and the u. S. Warships sent to protect them. We are not going to let the houthis hold this strait hostage. Reporter vice admiral brad cooper is the u. S. Militarys Deputy Commander in the middle east. After october 7th, as the navys top officer in the region, he ordered the fifth fleet into an area it typically sailed right through. How many sailors are now in the red sea . Weve got about 7,000 right now. Its a large commitment. What makes the red sea one of the most important waterways in the world . 15 of global trade flows exactly through the red sea. So, keeping these waterways open is critical. Its a core commitment the United States has from strategic perspectives, maintaining a level of commerce. Reporter the red sea is about the size of california. In the north, the suez canal. In the south, the 20milewide strait known as the gate of grief. It was near there three months ago that a japanese chartered ship built to carry cars was hijacked by the houthis, who posted this video. Since then, according to the pentagon, the houthis have attacked at least 45 ships. And the u. S. Navy has shot down more than 95 drones and missiles fired by the militia that controls onethird of yemen, including the capital, sanaa. As houthi attacks intensified in december and january, the Worlds Largest container Ship Companies all made the decision to avoid the suez and go around africas cape of good hope, adding as much as a month of travel time and a Million Dollars in fuel. U. S. Federal reserve chair Jerome Powell told 60 minutes two weeks ago, the diversions pose a risk to the global economy. And in the near term thats going to affect europe much more than its going to affect us. Reporter tesla and volvo were both forced to suspend some european production last month due to supply chain disruptions. There are still ships going through the suez, mostly smaller, regional carriers that are willing to run the current risks of the red sea. How much is that in terms of that traffic . Has it been reduced by half . Its been reduced. On any given day, sometimes 40 . But its clearly flowing. I think in many respects, its flowing because of the defensive umbrella we put over the Southern Red Sea for sure. Reporter the official name of that defensive umbrella is operation prosperity guardian. Its a coalition of more than 20 nations that includes the united kingdom. But most of the ships, aircraft, and fire power are coming from america. When was the last time that the u. S. Navy operated in this pace for a couple months . I think youd have to go back to world war ii, where you have ships who are engaged in combat. When i say, engaged in combat, where theyre getting shot at, were getting shot at, and were shooting back. Reporter initially, the houthis, backed by iran, stated they would only shoot at ships linked to israel. In support of the palestinian in gaza. Nd to force a ceasefire their ultimate political aims, as well as their actual aim, appears to be less precise. They have fired at ships tied to dozens of nations. The houthis official motto is, god is great, death to america, death to israel, a curse upon the jews, victory to islam. While their slogan may not be new, their weapons and tactics are, according to admiral cooper. The houthis are the first entity in the history of the world to use antiship Ballistic Missiles ever, firing at shipping. No one has ever used no one has ever used an antiship Ballistic Missile, certainly against commercial shipping, much less against u. S. Navy ships. Reporter admiral cooper took us inside the fifth fleets command center at naval headquarters in bahrain. I think theres a sense the houthis are a rag tag, kind of, terrorist group. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That can be a sense, and it would be a false sense. We will unwise to consider that. You have ten years of being supplied by the iranians, very sophisticated advanced weapons. They have hit a few ships. Of those targets, how many of them are directed at u. S. Naval assets . The overwhelming majority the last couple of months have been directed at internationally flagged merchant ships. A small percentage are at u. S. Navy ships. What kind of damage would that do on a commercial ship . Lets go right here. This is exactly what it looks like. The houthis attacked it, and you can see in practical terms what the damage was. Reporter the houthis also have inexpensive iraniandesigned attack drones in their arsenal, like the 15footwide samad, with a range of up to 1,100 miles. Some of their antiship Ballistic Missiles resemble the iranian weapons seen here and can hit targets up to about 300 miles away. If there was an antiship Ballistic Missile launched, this Ballistic Missiles travels about mach 5. About 3,000 miles an hour. How much time is between houthi launch and it could reach a u. S. Ship . If its coming to them put yourself in the seat of the destroyer captain. He has 9 to 15 seconds to make a decision of whether to shoot that down. Its intense. Reporter to speak to one of those captains deployed in the red sea, we took a fivemile helicopter ride from the uss dwight d. Eisenhower over to the uss mason, where we met commander justin smith. The commander is one of four warships in the area that have shot down more than a dozen of the houthis antiship Ballistic Missiles. How quickly can you see those . Anywhere from one to two minutes out. To give me the 9 to 15 seconds as the captain of this ship of what my actions are going to be. You made it sound like thats a lot of time, 9 to 15 seconds. Doesnt sound like much. Seems small and short in duration, but my crew has that ready proficiency to be able to engage. Reporter we learned that so far in this crisis, the navy has fired about 100 of their standard surfacetoair missiles that can cost as much as 4 million each. Roger, over. Reporter the decision to fire one at an incoming Houthi Missile or kamikaze attack drone is made in the ships combat information center, or cic. We can be attacked at any time in any place. Reporter thats where commander smith showed us a video of the uss mason doing just that. See an intercept here followed by a quick explosion, showing a successful engagement. The Weapons Systems that you have on board here, and specifically the standard missiles, those are expensive weapons. And youre using them to shoot down 10,000 drones. Is that worth it . I dont think you can put a price tag on safety and the defense of our sailors on board. You have to be right 100 of the time. They just have to get it right once. Reporter a day before our visit to the uss mason, about 100 miles away, another u. S. Destroyer needed its weapon of last resort. A defensive cannon called a ciws to shoot down a Houthi Missile that was a mile out and closing fast. Most u. S. Warships have one of these gun systems, seen here in exercises. The uss dwight d. Eisenhower has two. On that ship, with its 5,000 sailors and more than 75 aircraft, Strike Group Commander rear admiral marc miguez told us, the houthis have proven to be resourceful adversaries. There are the Intelligence Surveillance and reconnaissance drones that are the houthis are launching. How have you seen them used . When we first got to this area, we would detect the drone, and then all of a sudden, you know, ten minutes later or five minutes later, there was an attack. In other words, a Ballistic Missile being launched or a Cruise Missile being launched. And weve deduced over time that they are obviously using these drones to perfect their targeting solution. Reporter since the war in israel and gaza began, other iranianbacked militias have targeted u. S. Forces in jordan, iraq, and syria, with at least 170 attacks that injured 183 Service Members and killed three. Admiral miguez told us so far the uss eisenhower has only been focused on the houthis in the Southern Red Sea. Since january 11th, its planes have regularly been striking their launch strikes in yemen, as have u. S. Destroyers. The u. S. Also conducted a cyber attack on an iranian spy ship that was gathering intelligence in and around the red sea. But the houthi attacks keep coming. Could the houthis do this without iranian support . No. For a decade, the iranians have been supplying the houthis, theyve been resupplying them. Theyre resupplying them, as we sit here right now at sea. We know this is happening. Theyre advising them, and theyre providing targeting information. This is crystal clear. Are there members of irans elite revolutionary guard corp. That are actually on the ground in yemen providing intelligence and targeting . The Iranian Revolutionary guard corp. Is inside yemen, and they are serving side by side with the houthis, advising them and providing target information. So, what have we done to degrade that capability . That will obviously end up being a policy decision. Our role at this point is to simply be ready and continue to be aggressive in exercising our right to selfdefense. Do these offensive u. S. Air strikes against these houthi targets in yemen risk escalating this conflict . I dont think so. Were targeting those platforms that are targeting us. If we were to look at the calendar, right, since october 7th, surging of u. S. Forces to the red sea. And yet they keep firing back. They keep seeming to be opportunistic in their response. Is the u. S. Navy, the fifth fleet, are the actions having an effect . Its very clear that we are degrading their capability. And every single day they attempt to attack us, were eliminating and disrupting them in ways that are meaningful and i do believe have an impact. How long does this go on . I have a pretty clear end game in mind, and that is the restoration of the free flow of commerce and safe navigation of the Southern Red Sea. whale calling during its first year, a humpback calf and its mother are almost inseparable.

The month after the president ial election in 2020, democratic and republican electors representing the candidate who won the popular vote in their states gathered across the country to formally cast electoral votes for president. But in seven states that joe biden won, republican electors got together anyway and cast phony votes for donald trump. Theyve become known as fake electors, and according to federal prosecutors, they were part of a plan to overturn the election, orchestrated by protrump attorneys with trump support. State criminal charges have been filed against fake electors in georgia, michigan, and nevada. Wisconsins fake electors havent been charged. And several weeks ago, one of them, andrew hitt, an attorney and former chairman of the state Republican Party, agreed to sit down with us to explain how he and wisconsins other gop electors were tricked by the Trump Campaign.
