Britain has joined the United States in conducting overnight air strikes on military positions belonging to the Iran-backed Houthis rebels in Yemen
As reports of a joint US-UK attack on the Houthi rebels in Yemen, expected overnight tonight, flows across the internet, Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi says that “Any American aggression will not go unanswered.” In London, they are holding an emergency Cabinet meeting to shore up support for the attack. To date, there have been at least 27 Houthi attacks in the Red Sea on international shipping interests
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJB)
As this article was being prepared, the Times of Israel has reported “The United States and Britain have started carrying out strikes against targets linked to Houthis in Yemen, four US officials tell Reuters, the first time strikes have been launched against the Iran-backed group since it started targeting international shipping in the Red Sea late last year.”
It’s a go. This is a breaking news story and we will update it as it develops.

British media also reported that other political figures, including the leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, Keir Starmer, as well as the speaker of the House of Commons, had been briefed by the government.
Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi militants have stepped up attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea in protest against Israel’s war in Gaza. Various shipping lines have suspended operations, instead taking the longer journey around Africa.
The U.S. military said the Houthis earlier on Thursday had staged their 27th attack on shipping since Nov. 19, firing an anti-ship ballistic missile into international shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden.
Earlier this week, U.S. and British naval forces had shot down drones and missiles fired by the Houthis towards the southern Red Sea. READ MORE
