Following the fatal attack on three US troops by Iranian-backed militias, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan revealed that the United States intends to escalate its response. The US, alongside Britain, conducted strikes on 36 Houthi targets in Yemen in retaliation. Sullivan emphasized that these strikes were just the beginning of the US's retaliation efforts, hinting at more actions to come. The strikes targeted sites in Yemen linked to Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping. These actions mark a significant escalation in tensions in the region, with the US reaffirming its commitment to defending its forces against attacks by Iran-backed groups.
