The United States military has confirmed that it carried out a strike against Houthi targets in Yemen, aimed at destroying Iranian-provided anti-ship ballistic missiles. These missiles, which were being prepared to target vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, posed a significant threat to both merchant and U.S. Navy ships in the region. This strike marks the third time the U.S. has taken action against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
Last Thursday and Friday, the U.S. military destroyed over 60 targets at 28 different locations. However, despite these retaliatory measures, there has been no halt in Houthi attacks on the Red Sea. The Yemeni armed forces have declared all American and British ships and warships participating in the aggression against their country as hostile targets. They have promised to respond to ongoing offenses with punishment.
