“We are confronting this criminal aggression and responding to escalation with escalation,” the Iran-backed militia said in a media statement.

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.

    I understand you. Taking innocent lives is wrong. I feel like my perspective comes from a similar sentiment to the JFK quote: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

    Peaceful means have been tried to help the Palestinian people for decades and it hasn’t been at all effective. That’s the only reason I could possibly find myself being ok with what the yemenis do
