"US Conducts Jan. 18 Strikes on Houthis, Impact on Oil Market and Western Relations"
TL;DR Summary
The US conducted another round of strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, using Tomahawk missiles to target Houthi missile launchers. This comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and fears of the Israel-Hamas conflict spilling into the region. The strikes follow Houthi attacks on US-owned vessels, prompting the US to re-designate the Houthis as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity. Despite previous strikes, the Houthis have continued to carry out attacks on commercial shipping, and US officials expect further retaliation.
