The U. S. launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen, targeting key leaders of the Iranian-backed Houthis. This move, announced by National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, marks a shift in strategy. The strikes were more than just retaliation; they were a targeted effort to dismantle the Houthis' leadership. Waltz emphasized that these strikes were different from previous ones. They were not just random attacks but a calculated response aimed at the heart of the Houthis' leadership.

        The Houthis have been a thorn in the side of global commerce. They've attacked U. S. warships and disrupted shipping routes, causing a ripple effect on the global economy. About 70% of global trade now has to reroute around South Africa to avoid these attacks. This has led to higher shipping costs and supply chain issues. The U. S. is holding Iran accountable for aiding the Houthis. Iran has been providing the Houthis with advanced weaponry, including anti-shipping cruise missiles and drones. These weapons have been used to attack dozens of warships and global commerce vessels. The Houthis have even sunk multiple ships.

S. has made it clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. The U. S. is willing to engage in diplomacy, but it will not back down from its stance on Iran's nuclear program. The U.
