The “response” from the Biden administration to attacks on American forces (since that’s apparently what we’re calling it) continued for a second straight night. This time, British forces joined in with American Air Force and naval assets in strikes against Houthi installations in Yemen. The Department of Defense said that three dozen targets were hit, with cruise missile and drone launching sites and weapon supply depots being the primary targets. No initial estimates of casualties were released and we once again steered clear of directly striking any Iranian assets. The Houthis were quick to respond, saying that they would not be deterred and would continue to target Western ships and resources until the war in Gaza ends. (Associated Press)
The United States and Britain struck 36 Houthi targets in Yemen on Saturday in a second wave of assaults meant to further disable Iran-backed groups that have relentlessly attacked American and international interests in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. But Washington once more did not directly target Iran as it tries to find a balance between a forceful response and intensifying the conflict.
U.S. Central Command said its forces conducted an additional strike on Sunday “in self-defense against a Houthi anti-ship cruise missile prepared to launch against ships in the Red Sea,” according to a post on X, formerly Twitter.
