"US and UK Retaliate Against Houthi Attacks in Red Sea"

The US and UK launched airstrikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen after a series of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The conflict in Yemen, which has caused widespread suffering, involves a Saudi-led coalition and has become a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Houthi attacks on ships have prompted international condemnation and led to retaliatory strikes to degrade their capabilities. The US has been cautious about upending the fragile truce in Yemen and triggering a wider conflict in the region, but has also taken action against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria. The situation remains complex, with concerns about protecting commercial shipping while avoiding escalation into a broader regional conflict.
