In response to recent airstrikes by the United States targeting underground weapons storage facilities in Yemen, the Iran-backed Houthi group has vowed that America will 'pay the price' for its aggression. The strikes were carried out using B-2 stealth bombers on five locations.
Nasruddin Amer, the deputy head of the Houthi media office, stated that Yemen will not be deterred from its support of Gaza despite US aggression. The Houthis have been targeting ships in the Red Sea, citing Israel's actions in Gaza as the reason for their attacks.
The Houthis, along with Hamas and Hezbollah, are part of an Iran-led alliance that includes Yemen, Syria, Gaza, and Iraq. This alliance has been engaged in attacks against Israel and its allies, with a focus on achieving a ceasefire in Gaza.
The airstrikes on Yemen come amidst heightened tensions in the region. Israel is expected to retaliate against Iran's recent missile attacks before the upcoming US election on November 5. Additionally, conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as Hamas in Gaza, are escalating.
