"US Conducts Ongoing Strikes Against Houthi Targets in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions"

The US launched retaliatory strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen following continued attacks on international ships, targeting 14 Iranian-made Houthi missiles loaded to be fired in Houthi-controlled areas, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken announcing the reclassification of the Yemeni rebel group as a terrorist organization to restrict their access to financial support, while emphasizing that the decision could be reversed if the attacks on maritime traffic cease.
