Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi group has warned it is ready to join the ongoing US-Israel war with Iran, declaring its “fingers are on the trigger” for direct military intervention. The group said it would act if additional countries join the conflict or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks on Iran. The statement signals a potential escalation into a wider regional war, as the Houthis possess capabilities to strike distant targets and disrupt key shipping routes. They have previously targeted Red Sea shipping and Israel, raising fears that renewed attacks could impact global trade and energy supplies if they formally enter the conflict. (PC: AP)
