This is the best summary I could come up with:

An Iranian warship sailed into the Red Sea Monday, according to Iranian state media and other reports, risking a potential escalation of tensions in waters where attacks on commercial shipping are becoming frequent and forcing navies to intervene.

The arrival of the Iranian vessel, the frigate Alborz, in the Red Sea comes amid an ongoing conflict that started with Israel and Hamas but has spread to involve the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, among others.

Following weeks of American warships shooting down Houthi threats, such as missiles and drones, US Navy helicopters on Sunday fired on and destroyed three Houthi attack boats attempting to board a Maersk cargo ship.

Maersk has paused sailing through the Red Sea for 48 hours starting Sunday in response to the attack.

As of Dec. 17, US Navy destroyer USS Carney had neutralized dozens of airborne threats originating from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen since arriving in the area, making the American vessel 36-0 against Houthi rebels.

The aggressive Houthi activities in the Red Sea are threatening global commerce and have caused shipping giants like Maersk to look to other waterways and pause transit through the critical trade route.
