HCONRES 98 United States House · 118th Congress

Affirming the vital importance to the United States and its allies and partners of actions necessary to preserve peace, security, and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for U.S. military actions to protect maritime security in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. It urges the President to take necessary steps to restore deterrence against Houthi attacks, consult Congress before authorizing military responses, and provide timely reports on incidents involving U.S. forces. The resolution also supports designating the Iran-backed Houthi group as a terrorist organization and emphasizes protecting freedom of navigation through international cooperation. It directly affects U.S. military operations and diplomatic coordination in the region, aiming to safeguard global trade routes that handle nearly 15% of the world's maritime traffic.
