"Biden's Continued Military Strikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen and Iraq"

The US military conducted new strikes in Yemen against Houthi antiship missiles and targeted sites in Iraq linked to Iran-backed armed groups, citing their involvement in attacks on US troops. The strikes in Yemen aimed to thwart an imminent threat to merchant vessels and US Navy ships, while the attacks in Iraq were in response to escalatory actions against US and Coalition personnel. The strikes have drawn condemnation from Iraqi officials, who argue that they undermine Iraq's sovereignty and stability. Additionally, the US has reportedly sought China's help in urging Iran to rein in the Houthi rebels, but has seen little cooperation from Beijing.
