"US-Led Coalition Targets Iran-Backed Houthi Militants in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions"

A U.S.-led military coalition conducted strikes against Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen, in response to the group's attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. President Biden characterized the strikes as necessary retaliation to protect U.S. personnel and international commerce. The operation involved U.S. and British forces, with support from other nations, and targeted Houthi capabilities. The strikes are expected to heighten tensions in the Middle East and come after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution condemning the attacks.
