The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) has declared that they will use lethal force until they reach their target in response to the attacks on Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen.

The statement emphasized that Washington does not aim for regime change in Yemen. Providing details on the operations, Joint Operations Director Major General Alex Grynkewich stated that the initial wave of attacks in Yemen targeted over 30 facilities, including training centers and senior Houthi drone experts. WHAT HAPPENED?

In a statement on March 7, the Houthis gave Israel a 4-day deadline to allow aid into Gaza, threatening to resume naval operations against Israel otherwise.

US President Donald Trump announced via his Truth Social platform account that he had instructed the military to initiate a “major attack” against the Houthis in Yemen. The death toll from the attacks carried out since then has risen to 53, with many more wounded.
