"Escalating Tensions: US Strikes Houthis in Yemen, Iran Vows Response"
TL;DR Summary
The US-led military strikes on Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen were not intended to ignite a wider regional war, according to a White House spokesman. The strikes were in response to Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, disrupting global shipping lanes. Meanwhile, Israel defended itself against accusations of genocide in Gaza at the International Court of Justice, with South Africa seeking to challenge the Western-led order. The strikes in Yemen have raised concerns about escalating the conflict and worsening the economic crisis in the region.
