“We will respond to the recent escalation with further escalation,” a Houthi spokesperson told NBC News. “Our response will not be delayed.”

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.

    By all means if people rise up in the US against our corrupt government, I’ll be one of the first to grab my gun and be out on the streets.

    Sure Iran and Yemen have plenty of faults. But they are the people grabbing the gun and rising up against the US backed genocide. By all means you or any other party is extremely welcome to showcase their moral superiority by outdoing Iran or Yemen in this.

      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?
