The United States has launched a relentless airstrike campaign against Yemen’s Houthi militants, vowing to continue attacks until they halt assaults on global shipping in the Red Sea. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that the strikes will not stop until the Houthis cease their aggression. The Iran-backed group, however, has vowed retaliation, targeting US Navy warships and commercial vessels, further escalating tensions in the region. Iran has issued a strong warning to Washington, with top Revolutionary Guard commander Hossein Salami cautioning of “destructive” consequences if US military actions continue. Meanwhile, Russia has called for immediate de-escalation, while the United Nations fears worsening humanitarian conditions in Yemen.
