As tensions escalate in the Middle East, the United States has reaffirmed its commitment to targeting Houthi forces until they cease attacks on Red Sea shipping. Washington accuses the Iran-backed group of disrupting global trade and threatening international security.

In response, the Houthis have condemned the US-led strikes as a “war crime” and signaled their intent to escalate military operations. The group has vowed to continue its attacks, further raising concerns of a broader regional conflict.

The situation remains volatile as shipping companies and global powers closely monitor developments in the strategic waterway.
