Amid escalating attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militants on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the US and UK conducted their fourth joint strike on Houthi targets in Yemen. American and British fighter jets targeted around 18 sites, including missiles, launchers, and drones, following a surge in Houthi attacks, including a recent missile strike on a cargo ship. Despite previous strikes, the Houthi campaign against shipping persists, with recent attacks linked to conflicts in Gaza. Both nations assert their commitment to protecting maritime freedom while acknowledging ongoing Houthi threats and their reliance on Iranian support.
