US Intensifies Airstrikes on Huthi Rebels in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions

The strikes, ordered by President Trump, aim to deter attacks on international shipping and send a warning to Iran.

  • The US military has conducted its largest operation in the Middle East under President Trump, targeting Huthi positions in Yemen, including in the capital Sanaa.
  • The strikes are a response to Huthi threats to resume attacks on ships in the Red Sea, with the group citing Israel's blockade of Gaza as a provocation.
  • At least 53 people have been reported dead from the US airstrikes, with the Huthi leadership vowing further escalation and threatening US ships and interests.
  • Iran has condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of international law, while the US has warned Tehran to cease its support for the Huthi rebels.
  • UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for restraint, warning that further escalation could worsen Yemen's humanitarian crisis and destabilize the region.
