The US Attacks tension appears to be high-stakes alarming threats to the region

The Pentagon continues bombing Yemen, the Houthis are threatening regional countries, including US bases

Washington (ANN)- The Pentagon confirmed that airstrikes against Yemen’s Houthis continued for a third day on Monday, with the Houthis launching retaliatory strikes. .
The regional tension appears to be high-stakes US attacks in Yemen, with the Houthis making increasingly alarming threats to the region that could be expected from some countries hosting US bases in the region.

With concerns that the ongoing US airstrikes could worsen the situation on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Beb Al Mandeb Strait, where the Houthis have been carrying out attacks shiping on US, UK and Israeli commercial vessels for the past two years, justifying the attacks on shipping in response to the war in Gaza and the cause of the Palestinian people they support.

A US official of the Air & Space Forces, has previously said the attacks are one of the F / A-18 Super Harn, from US naval ships fired from US naval ships. Houthiris took a repeat attack, which is an invalid plane and missiles for hours of shipping to Trunman and warfare.

US officials argue that the US Air Force have been fired by drones in the Red Sea, which were attacked reactions from Houthi in Yemen. But Grynkewich and ParNell’s they confirm srevenge the risks and casualties of the US ships of the US attacks, but no independence source.

“The Houthis claim they tried to hit Harry S. Truman,” Grynkewich said. “Honestly, it’s hard to say, because while we’re executing precision strikes, they’re missing by over 100 miles. … I would question anything they’re claiming in the press that they’re doing or not doing. It’s very hard to say what they’re doing just based on the level of incompetence they’ve shown,” he told Air & Space Forces Magazine.

“Also, the official acknowledged that there were several other attempts to intercept ships in the Red Sea, using UAVs and some cruise missiles, but he argued that all of these were easily defeated by our fighter jets,” he said.

Meanwhile, Fox News reported that it has learned that US warplanes have shot down nearly a dozen Houthi drones since President Donald Trump began airstrikes against the Houthis.

“All Houthi movements, at all times, your attacks must stop, starting today,” Trump posted on his Truth Social account at the end of the trip.

Over the past two days, the United States has carried out various airstrikes in Yemen, and these airstrikes, which have increased today, according to the Pentagon on March 17, have further escalated the conflict in the Middle East region and also in the countries of the Horn of Africa region. These airstrikes have created a situation of fear, with the Houthi spokesman threatening to give surprising responses, as the United States has started the Red Sea war.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich, the director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. forces struck more than 30 targets in the first wave on March 15, causing “dozens” of military casualties. More strikes followed on March 16, Grynkewich said at a Pentagon briefing, but he did not provide an exact number of casualties.

“Today, the operation continues, and will continue in the coming days until we achieve the President’s objectives,” Grynkewich said.

The US Central Command has not yet released any images or information about the latest strikes, with Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Houthi , saying that retaliatory US strikes will not change their attacks in the Red Sea.

President Donald Trump announced a renewed campaign on March 15, saying the United States would strike the Iran-backed Houthis in response to their attacks on ships in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, and the Bab El-Mandeb Strait last year.

US forces have carried out several major strikes on Houthi targets in the past year, including during the Biden administration, but the Houthis have not carried out any strikes in recent months. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said the latest campaign would continue until the Houthis stopped attacking US ships and personnel.

Grynkewich said the Pentagon was currently striking a “broader range” of targets, and that mission commanders now have a greater range of targets than before. These included “ training sites, drone infrastructure, weapons production capabilities, and weapons storage facilities,” Grynkewich said. “There were also a number of command and control centers, including a center where we know that several senior Houthi drone technicians were located.” He added that U.S. forces also struck “the detection capabilities that were used to threaten the naval vessels in the past.”

The US military is expected to send additional aircraft to the region, officials previously told Air & Space Forces magazine. The Pentagon has periodically increased Air Force assets in the Middle East during times of heightened tension.

Also on March 17, the US Africa Command announced that it had conducted a “coordinated self-defence strike” against the al-Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia. AFRICOM said the strike killed civilian protesters, but there were no civilian casualties, according to the US military command based in Djibouti.

Trump re-designated the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in January. His first administration had designated the Houthis as an FTO, but the Biden administration later reversed that decision. Over the weekend, the White House released photos of Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz overseeing strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

The United States, Britain, and Israel have carried out several airstrikes on Yemen, which have reportedly damaged basic services in the port of Hudaydah and other areas in Sanaa. However, the attacks have not changed the Houthis’ stance on the war in Gaza.

The Houthis have repeatedly carried out bombings in the occupied Palestinian territory, and have threatened that their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Bab El Mandab Strait are the cause of the suffering of the Palestinian people.
