US Air Strikes Target Hodeida Amid Escalating Tensions with Huthis
Key Points:
- US air strikes hit rebel-controlled Hodeida, targeting Bajel and a steel factory in Al-Salif, according to Huthi media.
- The Iran-backed Huthis claimed they attacked a US aircraft carrier group twice within 24 hours in retaliation.
- President Donald Trump warned Iran, stating that any future Huthi attack would be considered an Iranian act of aggression.
- Recent US strikes killed 53 people and wounded 98, with thousands protesting in Huthi-controlled regions.
- The Huthis justify their attacks on Red Sea shipping as solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
- The conflict has severely impacted global trade, with shipping disruptions in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The US-Huthi conflict is intensifying, with Washington escalating strikes and Trump directly blaming Iran. The Huthis continue their Red Sea assaults, citing Gaza solidarity, while regional tensions rise with potential broader consequences for Middle Eastern stability.
