US Strikes Iran-Backed Houthis In Yemen, Adds Forces To Region

ANALYSIS – Are we getting closer to war with Iran? Even as Biden-Harris claim to want to avoid a wider war in the region, and Israel and Iran launch major strikes against each other, the U.S. military on Friday struck over a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen using both aircraft and warships.

While some local media sources claimed the UK participated in the strikes, a British government source said the UK was not involved. Strikes also reportedly targeted the south of Dhamar city and the southeast of al-Bayda province.

Since last November, the Houthis have targeted over 100 ships, sunk two and hijacked another. The group says it is launching the attacks to protest Israel’s war in Gaza, but U.S. officials say many of the ships targeted have no connection to Israel’s war.
