Houthi rebels claim retaliatory attack on US aircraft carrier

The U.S. Military campaign against the Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen intensified, following U.S. Strikes the day before, with the stated goal of halting Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea that began after Israel's war with Hamas in late 2023.
The Houthi attacks on shipping, which they claim are in solidarity with Gaza's Palestinians and conditioned on aid entering Gaza, have disrupted global commerce and prompted a costly U.S. Military response.
Airstrikes on Sunday targeted Houthi military sites in Taiz, a neighborhood in Sanaa hosting Houthi leaders, and a power station in Dahyan, resulting in a power cut.
The Houthi-run health ministry reported that the U.S. Airstrikes killed at least 53 people, including five children and two women, and injured 98 others, while the Houthis claimed to have targeted the USS Harry S. Truman in response, a claim dismissed by a U.S. Defense official.
Moscow urged Washington to cease the strikes and emphasized political dialogue, while the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for utmost restraint and warned that further escalation could destabilize the region and worsen the humanitarian situation in Yemen, and Iran warned the US not to escalate, stating the Houthis make their own decisions.

Why airstrikes on the Houthis will fail

The United States has begun what may well prove to be a long — and likely doomed — campaign of airstrikes against Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, in Yemen. For a year and a half since October 2023, the Houthis have been highly successful in disrupting shipping in the Red Sea, launching missiles and drones at cargo ships, oil tankers, and passenger vessels — hitting some, sinking fewer, and inconveniencing millions. Every conflict the US …
