"Houthi Threat Escalates: US Forces Launch Self-Defense Strikes in Red Sea"

US forces conducted a self-defense strike against Houthi forces in the Red Sea, targeting four anti-ship cruise missiles prepared to launch against ships. The strike, supported by several other countries, aims to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that the strikes are intended to degrade the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia and send a clear message that further consequences will follow if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels.

"US Foils Houthi Threats in Red Sea"

The US conducted a "self-defense" strike targeting and destroying Houthi militants' projectiles poised to launch at commercial ships in the Red Sea, marking the 12th strike against the Houthis in Yemen since January 11th. The strike, carried out unilaterally by the US, aimed to prevent an imminent threat to US aircraft patrolling the area. Houthi militants have been firing upon commercial ships in the Red Sea, causing significant disruptions to global trade routes and leading to a decline in ship volumes and freight tonnage.

Retaliatory Vow: Islamic Resistance Responds to US Airstrike Killing 5 Iraqi Militants

The US conducted a "self-defense strike" in Iraq, killing five militants who were preparing to launch explosives at American forces. The Islamic Resistance, a conglomerate of militia groups with ties to Tehran, has vowed retaliation for the deaths. The US Department of Defense has not yet commented on the incident. The strike took place near Kirkuk, but further details about the attack and its prevention remain unclear. Armed Iraqi militants have claimed responsibility for over 70 attacks against US forces since October 17 in response to US support of Israel's war with Hamas.

Retaliatory Strikes: US Targets Iran-Backed Militants in Iraq and Syria

A U.S. AC-130J Ghostrider aircraft conducted a self-defense strike against an Iran-backed militant group after the group launched a ballistic missile attack on Al-Asad Airbase in Iraq, resulting in non-serious injuries and minor infrastructure damage. The AC-130 gunship was already in the air and able to respond quickly, targeting a militia vehicle and personnel involved in the attack. This marks the first time a ballistic missile of this kind has been used in such an attack. Since October, U.S. forces have been attacked 66 times, and this unplanned strike is seen as an appropriate response to deter further aggression.

This marks the first time since October 17 that US troops in Iraq or Syria have been attacked by a ballistic missile. The Pentagon has not ruled out preemptive strikes against Iranian-backed militia groups in Iraq.
