A U.S.-led coalition has successfully downed at least 28 U.S. military bases within the country over a span of three weeks. Additionally, the U.S. forces have thwarted at least 38 drones launched by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in a recent incident. This marks the largest attack on commercial ships in the Red Sea in the past two months, despite continuous strikes on the proxy group by U.S. forces. Fortunately, no Navy or commercial vessels sustained any damage during these events.
Some officials are of the opinion that escalating the response against the Houthis is crucial to effectively combat their activities. A retired U.S. Army general with extensive combat experience has expressed concerns that the current tit-for-tat strikes are not deterring the group but rather degrading their capabilities. The Houthis are being resupplied by Iran, further complicating the situation.
