The Red Sea, which lies between Africa and Asia, has been in the news lately over attacks on commercial ships, including one bound for India, with the Navy deploying four warships in the Arabian Sea as a deterrent. In Ep 1375 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta explains what exactly is happening in the Red Sea, and why the attacks have the world worried.

As a Ph.D scholar in IR , I laud you for your efforts to bring IR in prominence in the imagination of Indians.
Love the Cut the Clutter episodes.❤
But it often gets difficult to find uninterrupted 30 min to listen through an episode.
@ThePrintIndia, is it possible to get an article version of these episodes? Like with national interest.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if houthis can't get you, somalis must"
Lmao what a line tbh
what a phenomenal explanation..! thank you shekhar ji
Very informative. Thanks for covering this topic the way you have, Shekhar Ji
Very informative video, I did not know that the Houthis have an active airforce. The region around the Red sea is actually turning red with anger from all sides.
If this continues even china and asian countries are not going to be happy because it will also effect them more than the US
Thank you, Siddharth, for appreciating and supporting our journalism. Do keep watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar
Here is the CTC from November where we discussed the Houthis' firepoewer: ua-cam.com/video/nvU3SVw8h3Q/v-deo.html
Hello SekharGupta ji..I am following the Print for more than a year.. I am very much interested in the topics you touch on..
Hats of shekhar ji for this review
Great News That Indian Navy " Made in India " Destroyers Are in Around The Red Sea to Stop Missle & Drone Attack and Most Important to " Prove To The World " that India " IINDIGENOUS BUILD " are of World 🌎 Class
Made in India by outsourcing.
Very good analysis!
Excellent sir... great info
*Correction* @5:25 - US is trying to forge an alliance with 20 navies and not 10 navies.
Very informative.
Keep going sir
This a reminder to people who think we are wasting our resources by investing in navy that how important and crucial navy sometimes more information than the army
If China develops a base - or possibly even dual-use infrastructure - in Assab or Massawa to complement its base in neighboring Djibouti, it would be able to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
In 2021, Eritrea signed on to join China’s Belt and Road Initiative and has reportedly seen a steep increase in Chinese construction projects in 2023. Over the last 11 years Chinese companies bought controlling stakes in all four of Eritrea’s developed mining projects for minerals including copper, zinc and potash.
China already operates its first overseas military base in neighboring Djibouti, where it built underground bunkers, hardened infrastructure and a pier capable of accommodating an aircraft carrier.
That's why US is funding Ben gurion canal, u will see project getting further FastTrack in cong years
Very nice videos related to IR and geopolitics
Thanks 👍
Houthis don't have the strength to engage on multiple battle fronts. This will be a short-lived affair. That reminds, how come nobody ever speaks of Yemeni lives?
But they are just firing rockets randomly at sea they have not opened a war and nobody wants to invade them again
They dont speak because the aggressor and defender both are Muslim entities, lives only matter if one of the party in conflict is non-muslim.
Same as turkey bombing syria
Thanks!
Hi Ramani,
Thank you for your generous contribution towards ThePrint's journalism.
Would have been good to add the implications of PLAN's Djibouti naval base. In fact you didn't cover Djibouti at all - given both US and China have bases at the choke point. China is just as badly affected by rampaging Houthis /Iranians. Given that India has no base and 3 destroyers cannot cover such a large expanse of water, could this provide the essential ingredients for a "G2" momen? A stretched, desperate, and beleaguered US Navy reaches out to China for help - and it's in both their interests to protect these sea lanes. China is increasing its naval assets in Djibouti.
History is imperative to take any action on present day geo-political issue ✍️✍️🙏🙏
Looking at geography, it's a Shame india isn't a naval power house because all the pieces are there for it to become one
Sea / Maritime security more important nowadays
First time I came to know about this red sea etc in great detail

China is lying about their GDP and everything else. Do not take them seriously.
"a pond" 😂😂 sir has seen his share now.😂😂.
Biggest lie is you can't choose your neighbors. Well well choose China as our neighbor instead of Tibbet in 1954. We choose Bangladesh as our neighbor instead of East Pakistan. You can choose your neighbor. And only thing requires for this choice is strength or power.
Sg, fantastic. it’s like masaimara shipping lanes for wild beasts Lions at one end and the Crocodiles at the other end, you choose who’s lion and who’s crocodile 😅
Sg Need to understand, India’s oil and gas is from a relatively safe zone on the eastern front of Middle East countries Qatar Iran Oman Kuwait Iraq Bahrain UAE Saudi and becomes that much more easier to patrol. The problem is for the western nations to ship across Red Sea into suez to Mediterranean Sea passing Sudan, Somalia, Yemen
Really Mr Shekhar Gupta....!!!
Red Sea is a "pond " and is an " inlet " from the Indian Ocean....
What happened to the Gulf of Aden ?
Please be better in your geographical description.
Red sea is definitely not an inlet from the Indian Ocean.

Pond 😅😂
Only SG can come up with such monikers!
When you keep taking
And start to admire your own voice
Great explanation SG. Curious to see the Iran- Russia- China axis in this proxy attacks if any. US will be clearly challenged if another fight opens up in the South China Sea.
No Indian you looking at the wrong ocean. Our intel suggest that new wars will breaking out for oil. Europe is readying it's self for war. New war for neo-colonization of North African oil. Italy long dormant is eyeing Libya and looking to take over parts of so that oil can flow in to Europe. Now there are rumblings that France is looking to do the same in their old colony Algeria. The Algerians fought a brutal war for their independence but now the French are looking to take oil fields of Algeria.
The world can do well without another fight starting...thank you for watching and writing in, my friend...best wishes, Shekhar
@@ThePrintIndia Oh, Communist unlike you I live in real world, yea!!!! LOL 😂 What Indian where your lover Russia? We warned you that Russia population was collapsing that they would abandon you to plug the gaps in Europe. We warned you that the Ukraine war was coming.
@@ThePrintIndia But now Indian, you Communist have finally embraced the American Globalization. 75 years to late. LOL 😂 But now you are in the "4th Turning" Indian their will be great wars and pirates oh boy are there going pirates Indian. You laugh at us we told you this now look at the Houthi. But we cans see your future Indian. Soon there will be a "Energy Crisis" hyperinflation will slam your nation, and you will use your powerful Navy to invade the Middle East. That right Hindu warriors on Muslim soil in the Middle East to secure oil supplies for India. Then we American will say "LOOK AT THE INDIAN COLONIZERS!!!! 😂🤣
Indian Ocean is ours and it's our duty to protect it.
#ThePrint 🏆
> says that he won't discuss the Container wars
> Ends up explaining the container wars
SG sir has an OCD , we all love it lol
Thank you sir for that such very useful information about middle east & Red sea .
The American Navy is the world's second largest airforce. They're capable enough.
I turn off the volume and just watch his bobbing head...It's highly comical. 😅😂🤣
If this Iranian Frigate sent to the Red Sea, either tries to take on the US Navy Warship directly, or tries to stop and board international commercial shipping vessels, the Americans and Allies are protecting, or tris to defend the Houthis attacking an international commercial shipping vessel too.
The outcome for this Iranian Frigate will be the same, also the Americans and her allies too, would see it as an open act of war by Iran in basically international waters, to try and stop international commercial shipping and world trade too.
Along with this Iranian Frigate could find itself now going up against Indian, or French, or British Warships, or other International partners of Americans too. What will Iran do then, open fire on other nations Warships as well as the American Warships too?
If Iranian Regime wants to start an open international naval war, that may start in the Red and then over flowing in to the Gulf of Aden, plus expand into the Arabian Sea and across all of the Northern Western Indian Ocean very quickly too.
Even land up reaching all the way back into the Persian Gulf too, between Iran against not just the Americans but her Nato and Western International Allies now too, the Iranians are making all the right mistakes to cause this happening.
If Iran wants a proxy war in the Middle East, with Iran the major loser because neither Russia will come to Iran aid, the Russian just cannot afford too, with the Russia Ukraine war going on.
Also what other Middle East or Asian countries, would join Iran in a major Naval and Air Force war against the Americans and her International Western Allies too?
As for China getting involved, if that is what the Iranian Regime are hopping for or betting on, the Iranian Regime better think twice. China is not going to risk either middle East oil and LPG China needs, or risk third world war with the Americans and her allies, any more than Russia would to support Iran.
Or openly go to war over supporting either the Houthis, Hamas or Hezbollah or any other Islamic Terrorist Group Iran is funding and supporting etc too.
It is just not in the Chinese Political, Military, let alone Chinese world Trade and Financial interests, to allow a conflict in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, to stretch all the way to the South China Seas and the Pacific Ocean.
The Chinese leaders will see Iran and her Islamic Terrorists which Iran supports and financial pay for mostly too, ARE JUST NOT THAT WORTH IT, to risk World War with the West and Americans, even Iranian Oil is not worth it either!
Sir but Bharat can learn alot from Russia Ukraine war, the lesser equipped one who used resouses in non linerar way (unmanned aerial vehicle) caused condiderable deterence to russia in black sea in sevasto pol
Even assuming your statement is correct (it is not), do you realize that this is a land war and that the naval forces have very little role to play in it? Even if all of Russia's Black Sea fleet is moved to another location, NATO/Ukraine will still get thrashed by Russia, as is happening today. I repeat, the navy is not playing any significant role, so NATO/Ukraine will continue to get thrashed by Russia no matter what.
Russia is fighting NATO not Ukraine. Ukraine is a proxy.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, said in a post on X on Tuesday.
The Houthis would only halt their attacks if Israel’s “crimes in Gaza stop and food, medicines and fuel are allowed to reach its besieged population”, al-Bukhaiti said.
“ you can’t choose yr neighbours “ - right . That is the favourite refrain of all reasonable statesmen . ,,,,,, stretching it a little far you have to make a statement “ ,,,, we have no more neighbours , they have all come to our house and now claiming our house as their own now “
The title sounds like a new Tintin Story
Hello
Lets see if India can handle the cost of it all.
It’s about time Indian Navy has decided to intervene and take responsibility of the trouble point on the Red Sea esp. that Bab-al Mandab strait. Suez Canal being a man-made conduit to Eastern Mediterranean Sea is an essential conduit for trade vessels as it connects Europe to Asia. Bab-al Mandab strait has two mischief makers , Somalia and Houthi rebels in Yemen. The protection of merchant vessels esp. ones heading for India will be the responsibility of the Indian Navy.
As long as Endians don't indulge in malicious activities they will be safe from resistance fighters.
I have a request.. Can I please dub some videos what you are saying into telugu
US Empire is done.
India should not be the forever foot soldier of Western Empires.
It's difficult for india to be truly independent, because they were under the boot of Britain for two centuries. They have a captured mindset.
China has an overseas military base in Djibouti

Just go around Africa to reach Europe. The added cost would still be less than the cost of naval vessels escorting and having to fight unnecessary enemies. Ego is very bad for the Wallet-discipline of a country. Keep ego away. Even Lord Krishna shifted to Dwarka rather than waste resources on incessant wars with Jarasandh.
No you don't understand Indian. Please understand India has the most people in world. But to feed them they need to export your food such as rice and wheat to other countries that how India make it money. Any disruption in your exports and that impacts your people. A lot of your people will start to starve if Sea lanes get shut down. You need that money and you need the oil and fertilizer to feed your people.
You know why the Indian Navy is expected to act in the Indian Ocean? It's because of Modi ji's international rapport!
Shia and Sunni no difference we are both Muslim When comes to war we are always together...
Really, then why hasn't the Palestinians come to help the Houthi? They were being attacked and staving the Palestinians did not come to their aid.....
Justification is not clear to fame Houti's strength. How come a small terrorist group has more missiles then ind and pak?
😢
Hopefully indian navy will not fall into the trap.once the choke points are blockd,the red sea wii be the cemetey for all the ships in it
Really, I wasn't aware that the Middle East has any warships? The Indians have powerful warships what exactly do you have?
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 I guess what he means to say is that they'll be surrounded.
Britain built the Suez Canal largely to develop the India economy. You all gripe about colonialism. You need to step up and defend the canal. When built, both India and Egypt belonged to us. Great Britain. So now you must defend the canal and get along with Egypt in the long run. Welcome to the real world.
No you didn't build the Suez Canal for the India economy. What total BS. You built the Suez Canal and controlled it along with the French to make MONEY. The only thing you ever used India for was to grow your "heroin" because you were to "chicken shit" to do it in England and ship that "crap" to China. Then you took your manufactured goods from the North of England and dump it in India markets.
Too Long, borderlining towards BOREDOM
On the other side, the only country that comes to mind is Thailand. 😜
Hamas isnt run by iran. Hamas is only helped with arms from iran. Hamas does there own things
He's spewing American talking points. He's also profoundly ignorant and a little arrogant too. You just know that he's probably pro-Israel.
Right so did Hamas speak out against Saudi Arabia when they where fighting the Houthi?
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 I have not heard so. It dont matter either way. South Africa's taken Israel to court, does that mean they're with hamas
It's called abetment.
what is the demand of the group. may be USA will sit and discuss like they did with taliban ?
Is this a cause for which India and China could possibly join forces?
Sea lane must stay open. China and India need the money from it's exports to fund and maintain your industrial lifestyle. Equipment is constantly breaking down and you need the money for new equipment as well as fuel.
Not possible.
Non state actor's 😂Without a state actor and a flourishing armament industry to provide with adequate tools, nothing will happen..
But it’s not worth mentioning why and whose ships they’re attacking?
They’re attacking only Israeli linked ships and effectively enforcing a naval blockade on Israel and demanding lifting of siege on Gaza. This point should be made clear to understand the context
They have attacked ships heading towards India which affects India's international trade is the only point of concern for me as an Indian.
@@sid8285 india exists in a vaccum somewhere?you want to trade,search other partners than the zionists.
@@amdazion6799the ship was not coming from Israeli dumbass
They are also attacking anyone who supports Israel. In this case, India.
So now protraying Hothis as new nuisance just like Iraq and Libya.😂😂😂😂. strongest army in the region.... 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ccp chinese navy is strong?? Says who? They don't even have a fully functional aircraft carrier...they dont have op experience let alone playbooks on long term deployments...
Very big than ours atleast
Labelling Hamas an Iranian proxy, the group that is fighting the illegal occupation of their land since 1987 is very naïve way of looking at things and no words whatsoever on why Houthis are doing this, surely they are not mad. They have stated that their target is Israeli ships and those ships which are bound towards Israel in response to their genocidal war against the Palestinians in Gaza.
And of the Houthi when Saudi Arabia attacked them? Funny, you did jump and challenge Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. Or even speak out for the Houthi.
Palestinians should have formed their government before the Israelis arrived.
Becarefull not to play your masrer israel s game israel your master has lost.
the Jews migrated to Israel have experienced neighbor trauma all over the world. That is why Israel continues to have trauma with its neighbors. The only way for Israel to have no neighbor trauma is to migrate to an island. Then Jews will have they own land without neighbor trauma. Then the name Israel can be changed to Island.
Ur suggestion has been passed on to UN
Great. But since they Israelis have an Ultimate Victim Mentality, they will build a Strong Navy (with American Money) and Attack nearby countries. They truly believe they're God's chosen people. 😑
