"Continued US Airstrikes Target Iran-Backed Groups in Yemen and Middle East"
TL;DR Summary
The US and Britain launched another wave of attacks targeting Iran-backed groups, striking 36 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday, following Friday strikes targeting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Force and militias in Iraq and Syria. The strikes come after a drone attack that killed three US service members and wounded dozens in Jordan. Tensions between the US and Iran-backed fighters have been on the rise, with both sides indicating the likelihood of further retaliatory strikes. Iran and the groups it supports in the Middle East are hoping to pressure the US to force Israel to end its Gaza offensive, but don't appear to want an all-out war.
