In a move directly linked to Iran’s influence in the region, the U.S. launched airstrikes on Saturday against Houthi positions in Yemen. The Houthis, an Iran-backed rebel group, have been involved in several attacks on shipping vessels, including those of the U.S. Navy. The strikes were announced by former President Donald Trump, who emphasized the U.S. will not tolerate such aggression. Trump made strong statements on social media, warning Iran that support for the Houthis must stop immediately or face consequences.
