Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen killed at least 31 and injured 101, according to the Houthi health ministry.

The strikes followed renewed Houthi attacks on shipping, which they say are in response to Israel’s blockade of Gaza.

A Houthi spokesperson vowed retaliation, stating, “Our response will not be delayed.” Trump warned Iran to stop supporting the Houthis, while Iran distanced itself from the group.

The conflict has disrupted Red Sea shipping, prompting the U.S. to redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization earlier this month.

    Do you think they are civilian vessels operated by mom and pop shops? They are owned by those innocent billionaires Robin loved so much.

    Boats have been warned not to travel through the Red Sea until Israel lifts its illegal blockade on Gaza.

      What does any of that have to do with with the workers on the boats? Most of whom come from developing countries and are just trying to feed their families?

      Astounding.
