The latest US bombardment of Yemen has sparked condemnation from Houthi rebels, who have labeled the attack as a “war crime” and have vowed to retaliate. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the military campaign in Yemen will continue until the Houthi rebels are unable to strike ships in the Red Sea. Rubio also accused Iran of supporting the rebels, claiming that they could not attack vital shipping lanes without Iranian assistance.
The deadly airstrikes on Sanaa, which took place on Saturday, resulted in the death of more than 30 people and left 100 others injured. The US actions have raised concerns about the escalation of violence in the region and the impact it will have on the Yemeni population.
Elizabeth Kendall, a Middle East Analyst at the University of Cambridge, shed light on the US motives behind targeting the Houthi military capabilities at this moment. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has already taken a heavy toll on the civilian population, and further military escalation could worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in the country.
The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with no clear end in sight to the conflict. The Houthis’ promise of retaliation and the US determination to continue its military campaign raise concerns about the future of the region and the impact on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

"Boycott Israel and USA!"
Stay on the right side of history!!
Good luck man trump in the White House not sleepy joe
No word on stopping genocide war crimes? So much for the United States 🇺🇸 having morals, that belief has well and truely been busted.
They should slap some tariffs on Yemen!
Oh the poor innocent women and children. Here we go again
Boohoo, what about those innocent sailors who were attacked. Don't try and cry foul now. You wanna play with the big boys. You gotta expect big boy actions.
Their reaction is to our gov military support to the Saudis and Israel. They are the worst allies anyone could ask for, frequently having to clean up after.
Europeans now have someone they can inspire on
What ever people says United state don’t care what people said, it’s a war mean war,no country on the planet can stop America what ever they do
Freedom boom
Hypocrisy of the west if it russia oh it will be wall crime
The US wants to make sure that no one will interfere in potential future war against Iran.
Then they play the victim card😂😂☦️✝️🛐🇯🇲🇺🇸🇬🇧
2:25 In other words, "Please US don't use bunker busters on our nuclear facilities, and missile assembly plants, please!" – The Iranians back peddling of tough talk
It's Trump who broke the nuclear deal with Iran previously during his first presidency 🤡
Previous efforts didnt fail. Previous efforts were half-hearted at best. Calling them "efforts" is quite the misnomer. These terrorist pirates aint seen nothing yet.
You asked for it houtis rebel.
“Deaths including children”. Mean meanwhile back to our Lattes at Starbucks
FAFO
the hospitilazed little girl's pain and scream is awful 🙁
Israel can do all crime ….no issue for America…
America can help criminal…
No issue….
Stop food shelter to gaza, no issue for America…
But when houthi support gaza and do the same will be big CRIME…
WONDERFUL…
Russia’s economy is collapsing, its government is corrupt, and its people are suffering. What’s there to defend?
Apparently that yemeni guy who says they will all fight America to the death has never seen any history of WW2. America fought an enemy who vowed to fight to the last citizen and that enemy got nuked, twice.
Finally someone with a backbone that doesn't just say. DON'T, to the Camera…
The United States of Israel
Is bombing Yemen for to defend the genocide in Gaza for Israel
Sooooooooooo nothing about how they launched SAM's at a F-16 and a Reaper 3 weeks ago? On top of all the other things they try to hurl at Navy ships. I mean, how much longer did they think they could keep on doing that without a show of force. Now it seems they'll get ground in to the dirt.
The world is full of politics. Everyone says they are right but people are suffering. There is never ending war and politics in this world. I have no words!
Wait, so attacking international shipping for years has consequences??
So Yemen is complaining about America’s “proportional” response…
Gee, that's tough
I don't see any empathy for the victims!?
I believe that a system of values must be created in the world that is valid for all people, states, and that takes into account basic human rights!
We constantly have that someone's sacrifices are not terrible and are justified, and some other victims are terrible and unjustified!?
Right on, they’re hiding under Civilian Citizens, so it’s very difficult to attack.
Here too eomen and kids are victims. America is supporting Israel it logic iran dupport houthis. For western politics all resistance groups are viewed as terrorists. AMERICA STOPS SENFING DUPPORT AND HELP TO ISRAEL FIRST.
Those number are way too low.
The amount of money we used so far, we need to get those numbers much higher to get our monies worth.
do you ask the american and european stop arming israel. did the american ask the israelis to stop bombing gaza
