Yemen and Iran-backed Iran-backed Hetty rebels are vowing to escalate after the U.S. air strikes to stop rebels from attacking military and commercial vessels in one of the world’s busiest shipping corridors.
The Houthi-ruled Ministry of Health said that the overnight U.S. strike killed at least 53 people, including five women and two children, and injured nearly 100 people in the Sanaa capital and the northern Sada province, a bastion of rebels on the Saudi Arabian border.
“We won't let these people control which ships can pass and which ships can't. So your question is, how long will this continue? It will continue until they no longer have the ability to do so. He said these are not one-time retaliation attacks by the Baini government after the Houthi attack.
Donald Trump vowed on Saturday to use “overwhelming lethal force” until Huthis stopped the attack and warned that Tehran would be “fully responsible” for their actions.
Husseth repeatedly sank international transport industry in the Red Sea, sinking two ships, which they call an act of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, and Israel is fighting another Iranian ally Hamas.
The attacks stopped when the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire continued to get off work in January (the day before Trump took office), but last week, Hossis said they would attack Israeli ships after Israel cuts humanitarian aid flow to Gaza this month.

Since then, no Houthi attack has been reported.
Overnight is one of the most extensive attacks on Houthis since the war in Gaza began in October 2023.
Trump's national security adviser Michael Waltz told ABC on Sunday that “it was actually targeting multiple Houthi leaders and knocking them out.” He did not identify them or provide evidence. Rubio said some Houthi facilities have been destroyed.
Houthis's Politburo said the rebels would respond to the U.S. strike and “escalate”.
Rebels on Sunday claimed that Harry S. officials were on condition of the military operation on anonymity.
A spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for “the greatest restrictions and cessation of all military activities” in a statement, while warning the terrible humanitarian situation in Yemen, the poorest Arab world, about “serious risks”.
Rubio said Houthis has attacked the U.S. Navy 174 times in the past 18 months and used “guided and precise anti-ship weapons” to transport 145 times.
The attack triggered the worst battle the U.S. Navy has seen since World War II.
Iran's paramilitary revolutionary defender Hossein Salami will deny that his country was involved in Houthis' attack, saying it “has no role in formulating national or operating policies.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X, urging the United States to stop air strikes and said Washington could not decide on Iran's foreign policy.
The United States and others have long accused Iran of providing military assistance to the rebels. The U.S. Navy has seized the Iran-made missile parts and said other weapons were tied to Huthis.
The United States, Israel and Britain have previously attacked areas under the Houthi-controlled in Yemen, but the new operation is carried out only by the United States, the first strike against Houthi under the second Trump administration.
Harry S. Georgia Cruise Missile Airlines is also operating in the area.
