Live ticker to Middle East & Syria: US military continues attacks on Huthi militia

After the US attacks on positions of the Huthi militia in Yemen, both sides are available for further escalation. US defense minister Steve Hegseth said in Washington on Sunday that the US attacks continued until the Huthis hired their military actions against international shipping.

The Huthi militia said it was ready to “answer escalation with escalation”. At least 31 people were killed during the attacks on Sunday night. It was the largest US military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January. In an interview with Fox News, Hegseth said that the campaign was a reaction to the numerous attacks that the Huthis had carried out on ships since November 2023 and serves as a warning to Iran to stop supporting the group. “It will continue until you say: ‘We stop shooting on ships. We stop shooting on facilities, ”said Hegseth. The political leadership of the Huthis described the attacks as war crimes. “Our Yemeni armed forces are completely prepared to react to escalation with escalation,” it said in an explanation. The attacks also triggered Iran and Russia reactions. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spoke of a “rough violation of the principles of the UN Charter and the basic rules of international law”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that the US government “has neither the authority nor the right to dictate Iranian foreign policy.”
