In a dramatic escalation of military tensions, the United States has launched large-scale airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, reportedly leading to significant casualties among Houthi leadership. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz confirmed that multiple Houthi leaders were killed. This aggressive military action follows a series of ship attacks attributed to the Houthis in the Red Sea, prompting President Trump to order these decisive strikes. The Houthis have vowed retaliation and claimed responsibility for a missile strike that landed in Egypt, raising concerns about regional stability. As the situation unfolds, U.S. officials emphasize that strikes will continue until Houthi attacks on shipping stop. Iran has distanced itself from the rebels, while Houthi leaders express readiness to escalate their military efforts in response to the U.S. aggression.
