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 like how people say “Eat the rich” and “attack and vandalize musk product” and also the “boycott usa product” But then “i am with trump on this, houthies shouldnt attack ships because it affect economy”

    Houthies this time stood for what they believe in “if you blockade aid to enter gaza, we will continue blockade on international goods through the red sea”

      You really dont know why people say “eat the rich” and “boycott usa product” but have issues supporting an internationally recognized terrorist organization?

      So what, as long as I support Palestine, I’m free to attack random ships without repercussions? Give me a fucking break.

      I can agree that we ought to not blockade the people of Gaza while also believing another group ought not shoot missiles at innocent shipping in an effort to raise awareness for the first group.

      It’s not cognitive dissonance.
