Iran's Revolutionary Guard's Role in Yemen Conflict Raises Tensions

A U.S. Navy official revealed that Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops are working with Houthi rebels in Yemen, providing assistance amid escalating attacks on U.S. military targets and shipping vessels in the region. The U.S. has stepped up counter-measures, with concerns of a potential Middle Eastern conflict. The Houthis, designated as a global terrorist group last month, are believed to be primarily funded by Iran, and the U.S. has targeted Iran-backed groups in Yemen, Iraq, and Syria in retaliatory efforts.
