YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouthi rebels vowed to target US and UK commercial vessels a day after the allies launched airstrikes against the group in Yemen, fanning concern that the Israel-Gaza war is blossoming into the regional conflict that the Biden administration feared.
Western naval forces in the Red Sea were on guard for any retaliation from the Thursday night airstrikes as Houthi leader Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi told tens of thousands of supporters in Sanaa that counterattacks were “imminent.”
Those comments in turn prompted a fresh warning from US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, who pointed to President Joe Biden’s statement after the strikes were announced that the US was willing to act again if the Houthis respond with force. On Friday, a ship hauling Russian oil had a narrow miss with a missile fired from Yemen, according to the UK Navy.
“He reserves the right and will not hesitate to take further action to defend our troops, our ships, our sailors, our facilities and, of course, international shipping, if that’s what’s required,” Kirby said on MSNBC.
