"US and UK Launch Strikes on Iran-Backed Houthis in Yemen"
The U.S. and U.K. launched heavy strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen, targeting 13 sites controlled by Houthi militants, as part of the Biden administration's reprisal campaign against Iran-backed militias. The strikes aimed to disrupt and degrade Houthi capabilities threatening global trade and innocent mariners, following a series of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping. Iran condemned the U.S. airstrikes on sites in Iraq and Syria, but refrained from threatening retaliation. The House plans to hold a vote on legislation to speed $17.6 billion in security assistance to Israel, complicating Senate efforts to rally support for a broader national security bill.
