USA, Houthi rebels vow escalation after the Yemeni Air attack – National

United States and Iran supported Houthi rebels In Yemen, the sworn escalation after the United States has been launched by air attacks to distract the rebels from attacks on military and commercial vessels at one of the world’s most prominent ship corridors.

The Houthho Ministry of Health announced that at least 53 people were killed in the United States, including five women and two children, and they wounded almost 100 in the capital of Sana and the northern Province of Saad, the revolt of the rebels on the border with Saudi Arabia.

“We won’t have these people who control which ships can go through and who can’t. And so your question is, how long will it last? It will last as long as they no longer have the ability,” State Secretary Marco Rubio told CBS on Sunday. He said they were not a one -off retaliation, and the Biden administration was conducted after the Houthhi attack.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump vowed to use a “irresistible deadly force” until Houthhi interrupted the attacks and warned that Tehran would be “responsible” for his actions.

Houthi repeatedly aimed at international delivery in the Red Sea, sinking two vessels, in what they call solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel was in war with Hamas, another Iranian alliance.

The attacks stopped when Israel-Hamas a truck took over in January-day before Trump took the post-Ali last week Houthis said he would renew the attacks against Israeli vessels after Israel interrupted the Humanitarian Aid course in Gaza this month.

Houthhi attacks have not been reported since.

Night air attacks have been one of the most comprehensive attacks on Houthis since the war in Gaza began in October 2023.

Trump’s national security adviser Michael Waltz said on Sunday ABC that the strikes “were actually targeting several Houthhi leaders and took them out.” He did not identify or provide evidence. Rubio said some Houth objects were destroyed.

Houthis political office said the rebels would respond to US strikes and “get to know escalation with escalation.”

The rebels claimed on Sunday that they aimed at the US strike by Harry S. Truman carrier with rockets and drones, but two US officials said Associate Press so that they were not following anything. Officials spoke on a condition of anonymity to discuss military operations.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in a statement demanded “the greatest restraint and cessation of all military activities,” warning of “serious risks” to the difficult humanitarian situation in Yemen, the poorest nation of the Arab world.

Rubio said that in the past 18 months, Houthis had attacked the US Navy directly 174 times and aimed commercial delivery 145 times using “guided precise weapons against the ship”.

The attacks have caused the most serious struggles that the US Navy has seen since World War II.

On Sunday, the chief of the Iranian paramilitary revolutionary guard, General Hossein Salami, denied that his country was involved in Houthis attacks, saying that “he did not play a role in placing national or operational policies of” militant groups with which it was federal throughout the region, according to State TV.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, writing on X, called on the US to stop air attacks and said that Washington could not dictate Iranian foreign policy.

The US and others have long accused Iran of providing military assistance to the rebels. The US Navy seized the Iranian missile parts and other weapons that were said to be tied to Houthis.

The United States, Israel and Britain have previously hit areas that were Houthhi in Yemen, but spent a new surgery exclusively now, it was the first strike on Houthis under the second Trump administration.

USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, which includes a carrier, three destroyers of the Navy and one cruiser, is in the Red Sea and was part of the mission. The region also operates USS Georgia Cruise Rakeril Submarine.
