The strikes have been in retaliation for Houthi attacks on shipping – both merchant and naval – in the Red Sea in recent months.

Key Points: 
  • The strikes have been in retaliation for Houthi attacks on shipping – both merchant and naval – in the Red Sea in recent months.
  • UK government minister Huw Merriman claimed recently that these airstrikes are not just a “one off”.
  • For almost a decade, the Houthis have been subject to airstrikes by their Sunni rivals in Saudi Arabia and they have proved resilient.
  • Western foreign policy in the Middle East has historically been tainted by what some call “mission creep”.

Clarity of purpose

  • There are three main conditions governing how we come to regard a military engagement as constituting mission-creep.
  • These are: the scope of conflict, as well as the temporal parameters and spatial limits.
  • Sunak must emphasise that any military action taken will be limited to naval and aerial assaults.

Past successes and failures

  • The then defence secretary, Michael Portillo, similarly received questions on the potential dangers of mission creep.
  • He made a statement in the House of Commons in which he stated:
    I am determined that the Nato operation will be limited in scope.
  • In part, this was shaped by its failures to withdraw in a timely manner.
  • The current government needs to do the same when making tough foreign policy decisions about the Middle East.
