US and Houthis exchange fire
2025-03-22
[IsraelTimes] US said to carry out further wave of strikes on Iran-backed group’s stronghold

The Houthis said they launched more drones at US warships in the Red Sea that have been involved in strikes against them.

The missile launch came after Houthi media in Yemen reported strikes on the Iran-backed rebels’ homeland of Saada, blaming "American aggression."

The group’s al-Masirah TV cited its correspondent in Saada, in Yemen’s north, for the latest claim of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s since the United States on Saturday said it carried out attacks that killed several Houthi leaders after the rebels said they would resume targeting Israeli shipping.

Washington began the new military offensive last weekend, promising to use overwhelming force until the Iran-backed group stops firing on vessels in the key shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

In return, the Houthis claim that they have repeatedly attacked a US aircraft carrier battle group.

Citing an Israeli official, the Ynet news site reported on Thursday that Washington had asked Israel not to respond to the Houthis’ latest missile attacks. According to the report, the US told Israel to "let them deal with it."

The strikes on the Houthis are the largest American military operation in the Middle East since US President Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
took office. Trump has said he would hold Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
responsible for the Houthi strikes.

#4  3DC, yes. Yemen has, IIUC, half a dozen water sources/ pumping stations and most of the water produced goes to the khat crop. Take them out, and the Yemeni population, almost entirely addicted, is reduced to a gibbering, useless mob. OK, no change there, but thirsty as well. Busy fetching buckets of water.

#1  This is not 'decisive'. Destroy the ports. Destroy the energy sectors. Destroy the transportation infrastructure.
