Escalation in Yemen: American and British Airstrikes Target Houthi Rebels

America and its allies have conducted airstrikes in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels, as a response to the rebels' attacks on ships in the Red Sea. The operation, supported by several countries, has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region and has already caused a 2% jump in oil prices. President Joe Biden has indicated a willingness to take further measures, and the outcome now hinges on how the Houthis and their Iranian backers will react. The situation highlights the expanding impact of the Gaza conflict in the Middle East and marks a significant military intervention by the United States in the region.
