"US and UK Launch Joint Airstrikes on Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen"

The US and UK launched airstrikes targeting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen in response to continued attacks in the Red Sea, striking 36 Houthi targets in 13 locations using missiles launched from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The strikes aimed to disrupt and degrade the capabilities the Houthis have used to attack ships in the Red Sea, threatening global trade and innocent sailors. This comes after a series of illegal and destabilizing Houthi actions, including attacks on commercial vessels, prompting a joint warning from the US and UK to defend the free flow of commerce in the critical waterway.

"US and UK Military Strikes Target Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen and Gaza Conflict Updates"

The US and coalition forces launched multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, targeting storage facilities, missile systems, and air defense systems. The strikes were conducted with support from several countries and were in response to Houthi attacks on international shipping and naval vessels. The US has carried out more than 12 strikes against the Houthis since January 11, but previous strikes have not deterred attacks against US forces. The latest strikes come after three US soldiers were killed in Jordan, and two Navy SEALs went missing in the Red Sea.

"Biden administration's evolving approach to Houthi terrorists and Iran-backed attacks in Yemen"

The Biden administration's decision to redesignate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis as a terrorist group by adding them to the specially designated global terrorist (SDGT) list has been criticized for not putting the group on the foreign terrorist organization list, with experts arguing that this undermines the effectiveness of the designation. The administration's move aims to pressure the Houthis for their attacks on international trading ships but has faced backlash for not taking stronger action. Critics argue that the decision avoids taking real action and fails to address the full extent of the threat posed by the Houthis.

US Navy Warship Defends Itself, Shoots Down Yemeni Drone in Red Sea

The U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner shot down a drone fired from Yemen over the Red Sea. The incident follows threats from the Iranian-backed Houthis to attack ships in the region. This comes after the Houthis shot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper Drone last week. The incidents raise concerns about a widening conflict between Israel and Hamas, as the U.S. has already launched retaliatory strikes on Iranian-backed groups in Syria. The Pentagon has not announced a military response but reserves the right to respond at a time and place of its choosing.
