This is John Bachelor from a much longer conversation with my colleague Colonel Jeff McCausen, CBS News.

About the Huthies who have hijacked a container ship, the Galaxy leader, and are holding the crew hostage.

Jeff reminds all that those two need to be helped and there needs to be intervention, international intervention or Israeli intervention.

25 people are being kept against their will and they're being kept by Huthies who are a surrogate for Iran, part of the larger canvas

that we're dealing with and a wider war, not just Gaza but also Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,

Huthis.

And all of these elements are like buttons

that are pushed in Tehran.

Now, Huthi's one of those buttons.

They attempted a second container ship

were interrupted.

We keep attempting to penetrate Israeli airspace with drones or missiles. The reports

of firing anti-ship missiles may or may not be accurate but they do have

anti-ship missiles. Here's Jeff on the 25 hostages held by the Huthies, a local tribe that took

over all of Yemen. A man named Huthie leads them. They are the adversary.

Without question, John, that's totally true.

And in fact, it was twice that U.S. naval vessels

or cruise missiles or drones fired by the huthies in the direction of Israel.

When was the U.S. that's Carnaby and a second destroyer as well

intercepted it.

So we've seen the huthies do this several times.

But I think it's also worthwhile to focus on the fact
