“We are confronting this criminal aggression and responding to escalation with escalation,” the Iran-backed militia said in a media statement.

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.

    Problem here is that conservatives are the armed ones and they’re the ones running the show with the govt. Anything that isn’t planned on a massive scale would be for naught and end up with us dead or in prison for life.

      I do not recall Americans being more receptive to violent resistance against genocide under the Democrats. If anything even less.

      But the Houthis were doing this under the Democrats as well. They are nonpartisan like that.

      Anything that isn’t planned on a massive scale would be for naught and end up with us dead or in prison for life.

      Like for example a collective demand to massively hinder the economies of participating countries with a shipping blockade unless the genocide ends?
