Escalating Conflict: Egypt Considers War Against Houthis Amid Shipping Threats On October 23, 2026, Egypt is reportedly weighing the option of entering a war against the Houthis due to escalating missile strikes that threaten global shipping routes. The Houthis have launched missiles that recently struck two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime passage. This situation has raised alarms about the potential for wider regional conflict, particularly as Iran's military actions intensify. The Pentagon is preparing for a possible military response, including a three-day blitz against Iranian targets. The conflict has already resulted in casualties, including the death of a pilot at Riyadh airport due to Houthi missile attacks. The implications for global shipping and food prices are significant, with warnings issued by MI5 regarding Iran's targeting of military sites in the UK. The situation remains fluid, with potential for escalation as both regional and international actors assess their responses. 68
