"US and UK Conduct Joint Strikes on Iran-Backed Houthi Targets in Yemen"

The US and UK, along with support from other countries, carried out additional strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, destroying missiles, weapons storage sites, and drone systems. The strikes aimed to deter the Iranian-backed group from attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea, with the US using fighter jets, surface vessels, and a submarine to target eight locations. Despite ongoing attacks, President Biden emphasized that the airstrikes would continue, and US officials have stated that the strikes have been successful in disrupting the Houthi's capabilities. The US has accused Iran of fueling the attacks and supplying the Houthis with tactical intelligence and weapons, while the Houthis have vowed to continue their attacks until the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza ends.
