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.

    Actually, MAGAts are the kind of people who view “bombing some Yemenis” - or bombing anyone, as a “yee-haw 'Merica” show of strength. Trump knows this and will toss bombs all day if it firms his base. He just needs a target. Hi, Houthis!

      I mean yeah, to be extent they care they definitely like it, but I also think Yemenis are very low on the list of people MAGAts would like to bomb. And again, if Trump bombing Yemen will help him consolidate power, then Yemen is the one benefiting from the bombings.
