The ongoing conflict between Houthi rebels in Yemen and the United States has escalated in recent weeks, with the US conducting a series of defensive strikes against the terrorist group. Defense officials from the State Department and the Pentagon have emphasized that these strikes are solely in self-defense. However, critics argue that these actions have not been effective in deterring Houthi attacks.
The Houthi rebels, who have been launching strikes on US forces and commercial shipping across the Middle East, have been described as a motorcycle gang in one of the world's poorest countries. Despite the ongoing US strikes, they have managed to continue their attacks, causing disruptions to global commerce and contributing to global inflation.
