US and UK carry out airstrikes on targets in Yemen

The U.S. and the U.K. carried out airstrikes Thursday (11th Jan) on Houthi rebels infrastructure in Yemen, according to two U.S. officials.

This comes after the Iranian-backed militia group continues to attack cargo ships and tankers in the Red Sea, despite being warned.




The Houthi in Yemen has previouisly warned that should they are attacked, they will target the oil fields in UAE and Saudi Arabia in retaliation.

It remains to be seen if the Houthi will keep to their 'promise'.

    ‘U.S., U.K. strikes Yemen with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Netherlands.’

    Would there be any more silly countries that would send their soldiers to support the American terrorists in their genocide against the Arab and Muslim countries?

  • Dalai Says "Read My Lips":

    For a moment, I was worried that US defense contractors weren’t making enough money. Houthis are a gorilla army and US cannot win a guerilla war. They may look insane but now China and Russia is going to help them via Iran and it is going to help them. The Houthis remain very popular in Yemen despite nine years of American and Saudi efforts to militarily re-install a client regime in the country. Due to American and Saudi bombings and blockades, nearly 400,000 Yemenis have died, over half of them through disease or starvation. The number of actively starving children in the country has been just under 1 million. This is OUR “humanitarian interest”!!!

    What the Houthis (read Iran) want is for Israel to stop destroying Hamas, they could care less about ordinary Gazans. Iran knew arming and training Hamas and Hezbollah would lead to their attacking Israel and a massive response that affected normal Palestinians. The Houthis (read Iran) don’t care about Palestinian civilians, in fact they’ve done everything in their power to make sure that they have ongoing war with Israel. They just care that their fellow Iranian proxy is being destroyed. This is not so complicated. The Iranian government wants to destabilise the region. It uses surrogates to accomplish this.

    Can anyone provide evidence that Iran, the Houthis, Hamas or Hezbollah has ever done anything to actually assist the well being of any Palestinian? You can condemn the Israeli government without being simple-minded. Focusing only on the Israeli government is exactly what Iran and Hamas want. Why would anyone want to do their bidding? I have always held that, the Palestinians have been pawns of the other Middle Eastern nations trying to use them against the West and specifically Israel. They have certainly done little to support and help the Palestinians– not giving them multiple forms of meaningful peaceful aid, land, and guidance. Instead, they arm them and encourage violence.

    In both cases, the dominant power US/UK, identifies a nefarious outside entity pulling the strings (Iran), rhetorically separates linked struggles, and reductively labels political interventions as ‘terrorism.’ All of this would end if the U.S. would commit to structural transformations in Israel allowing for a Palestinian right of return and the end of Jewish supremacy.

    None of this violence will stop until the main instigator, Iran, is dealt with.

  • Putin Says:

    Kremlin condemns ‘illegal’ Western attacks in Yemen
    There is no justification for the US-led military action under international law, Russia has stated

    The overnight airstrikes conducted by the US and its allies against targets in Yemen were illegal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Friday.

    The attacks on dozens of targets in Yemen were conducted by the US and the UK with support from a handful of other nations, according to the US Central Command. Washington claimed the strikes were “defensive” in nature and were aimed at the de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

    “We condemn them,” Peskov said when asked about the action during a media briefing. “The [UN Security Council] resolution gives no right for strikes, and consequently they are illegitimate under international law.”

  • From this incident, it can be seen that Iran takes very bad care of its supposed proxies, not adequately arming them with the necessary air defense, knowing full-well that the US is stronger in its air power.

    Like someone said, Iran’s proxies are just used and discarded, with no regard for their safety and lives.

    If Yemen had been adequately armed, the US and UK would be losing fighter jets in this ops.

  • SINGAROAR:

    No need to do all this attacking and damage. The Houthis have said they will stop if the Zionists stop the genocide in Gaza. So aren’t these countries attacking Yemen supporting the genocide in Gaza? France, Italy and Spain have refused to join in. NATO is becoming divided because of Biden and Sunak. This is a win for Putin and China.

  • @SINGAROAR

    Precisely my point. Stop the Israeli nonsense and all these goes away. Unfortunately, noth the US and UK does not want that, they want the Palestinians to be wiped out in Gaza and probably West Bank so that they can have a permanent presense in the middle-east. Its al about their hidden agenda.

  • UK want to bomb China:

    British defense minister Grant Shapps has predicted a global conflict between the West and Russia, China, Iran and North Korea, within five years. Shapps has called on Britain’s allies to increase their military spending in response to this so-called “existential threat.”

    China better be prepared.

    Singaporeans can hide in Borneo deep forest.

    The white terrorist states are talking about wars everyday and everywhere. They still believe that they can conquer and rule the world like in the last few centuries.

    @UK want to bomb China
    War is a method used to sell weapons. It is also used to clear all the old weapons from storages. Gaza is the site at present. Next will be Yemen. A new world order should be set up, which condemns war entirely and takes leaders like Biden and.Sunak to the International Courts to serve jail terms.

  • Poor British:

    Stark new figures estimate that some 4,950 excess winter deaths last year in the UK were down to people living in cold and damp homes. New official data from the End Fuel Poverty Coalition says those figures were recorded during winter 2022/23.

    Poor British people are freezing to death while their unelected PM and Cabinet spend their monies on wars which have NOTHING to do with the British people. In ancient times, Emperor Nero played his fiddle when his city burned. In modern times, Emperor Sunak plays his tanks and planes while his people die from cold.

    Election predictions are the ruling Conservatives will be booted out in a GE now.
