Expanded US-Led Naval Task Force To Protect Red Sea Shipping

Handout photo dated November 22, 2023 shows Lt. Samuel Gilbert stands as the anti-terrorism tactical watch officer aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS McFaul (DDG 74) during a transit of the Suez Canal. The Pentagon has convinced more than a half dozen allies to join a strengthened naval task force in the Red Sea amid mounting attacks by Iran-backed rebels on commercial shipping that have driven oil prices higher. More than 9mn barrels a day of oil shipments, or almost a tenth of global demand, pass through the Red Sea, making it one of the world’s busiest energy chokepoints.
