Houthi Leaders Warn U.S. of Retaliation Without Red Lines Following U.S. Airstrikes in Yemen

In a series of escalating tensions, senior Houthi officials have issued stern warnings to the United States and Saudi Arabia regarding potential military actions in Yemen. Muhammad Ali al-Houthi, a prominent leader of the Houthi movement, stated that any U.S. attack on Yemen would result in strikes against American interests in the Middle East, emphasizing that there would be no 'red lines' in such retaliatory actions. This warning follows recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, which included strikes on missile storage and command facilities in the capital, Sanaa. The U.S. Central Command confirmed these operations, which were described as precision airstrikes aimed at neutralizing threats posed by Houthi forces. The Houthis have also expressed readiness to support the Syrian people should they choose to confront Israel, further complicating the regional security landscape.
