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.

    Robin Hood committed crimes to help people in need. What’s worse? Taking cargo vessels and holding their crew ransom or genociding millions of people? Fighting evil is usually ugly, if playing nice was effective we wouldn’t be here

      yeah, robin hood wasn’t out attacking innocent people.

      We’re all the heroes in our own story but you’re sitting here trying to defend attacking innocent civilians. I hope some day you’re able to realize how messed up that is.

        How do you feel about what’s happening to the Palestinians? if that was happening to you would you want someone to disrupt supply chains to help you?

          disrupt supply chains? Sure. Kill innocent civilians? Honestly, probably I would want them to kill whoever to save me, but I’d know that I was morally wrong, if not outright evil.

          The mass violence experienced by the Palestinians has been horrific. The October 7th attack was barbaric. Prior actions in recent times by Israel helped pave the way for that attack. Ditto for Hamas. There certainly are and were evil persons among Hamas. Likewise, there are evil people in Israel in high places.

      They didn’t hold the crew ransom, they blew them up with missiles and caused such a huge turmoil in supply chains that the cost of shipping went up by shitloads and affected the livelihoods of workers all across the world and affected cost of goods for consumers all over the world

      holding their crew ransom

      You seem to have hallucinated a Disney movie version of events.

      If you want to be pro Houthi attacks in the Red Sea that’s your prerogative, but don’t tell yourself bedtime stories about how that particular conflict is playing out.
