Abstract

US and UK forces, along with support from six other countries, have conducted a new round of attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The strikes targeted 36 Houthi sites associated with weapons storage facilities, missile systems, air defense systems, and radars. The Pentagon stated that these precision strikes aim to disrupt and degrade the capabilities of the Houthis, particularly their ability to threaten global trade and the lives of mariners. This operation signifies President Joe Biden's willingness to increase US involvement in the region's conflict. [Extracted from the article]
