NATO Attack On Yemen: UK Royal Air Force Joins U.S In First Major Blitz Under Trump On Houthis

Britain and the United States have carried out new joint airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen, marking the UK’s first publicized strike operation alongside the U.S. since the Trump era. RAF Typhoon jets targeted Houthi drone sites near Sanaa, in response to escalating attacks on commercial shipping and missiles fired toward Israel. These Iran-backed assaults have disrupted global trade in the Red Sea by over 50%. UK Defense Secretary John Healey warned the ongoing Houthi threat poses serious risks to regional stability, global shipping, and national economies.

US Intel Report gives EXPLOSIVE details | Israel to go all-out to deny Iran having Nukes?

U.S. intelligence suggests Israel may strike Iranian nuclear sites this year, despite President Trump’s ongoing diplomatic talks with Tehran. Military activity and intercepted messages indicate Israel is preparing for possible action as negotiations stall. Trump issued a 60-day ultimatum to Iran, keeping military options open. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces pressure to block a weak deal without alienating Trump. With Iran’s defenses weakened and enrichment continuing, the risk of unilateral Israeli action grows, potentially disrupting U.S.-Iran diplomacy and escalating regional tensions. #IsraelIranTensions #IranNuclear #TrumpDiplomacy #MiddleEastCrisis #USIntel #Netanyahu #Khamenei #StrikeRisk #NuclearDeal #Geopolitics #IsraelDefenseForces #IranEnrichment #TrumpUltimatum #MilitaryStrike #USIranTalks #DiplomaticStandoff #BunkerBusters #IsraelMilitary #TrumpForeignPolicy #NPT #IranDeal #MiddleEastPolitics #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #Tehran #NuclearStandoff #DefensePolicy #StrategicTensions #MiddleEastNews
