Red Sea Threat: US and UK airstrikes on Yemen can embolden Houthis, says senior analyst | Oneindia
The United States and the United Kingdom launched airstrikes on Thursday night targeting Houthi facilities in Yemen.
This marks the first time during the war that the US and its allies have directly attacked Yemeni territory in retaliation for the Houthi group's actions in the Red Sea.
However, analysts are suggesting that rather than being deterred, the Houthis might be further emboldened by these attacks.
Despite not being internationally recognised as the government of Yemen, the group controls significant portions of the country, and experts believe that the increased attention from the world's sole superpower could elevate their regional and domestic profile.
In a chilling new video, the leader of al-Qaida's Yemen branch, Saad bin Atef al-Awlaki, has issued direct threats against U.S. President Donald Trump, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The threats come in response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The half-hour video, which circulated via AQAP-linked channels, marks al-Awlakiâs first major appearance since taking over the terror group in 2024.

Houthi REVENGE Begins: Yemen has launched a âPalestine 2â hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. The strike, in response to Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, disrupted air traffic and sent thousands into shelters. Yemeni Armed Forces vowed continued support for Gaza and Lebanon, stating attacks will persist until Israel ends its war on Gaza. While Israel claims the missile was intercepted, sirens rang across central Israel and occupied territories. This marks Yemenâs first official missile strike on Israeli infrastructure from afar.

The U.S. military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is proving costly and largely ineffective. With over $1.5 billion spent on munitions, 30 warships deployedâincluding the USS Eisenhowerâand advanced assets like F-35C jets, Washington faces limited success. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have launched over 325 attacks and disrupted $1 trillion in trade via asymmetric warfare. As the Red Sea crisis deepens, analysts warn this prolonged conflict may become Americaâs next Vietnam. News that speaks your language â Oneindia App is now live | Click on the below link to download

President Trump has signed a sweeping travel ban blocking entry from 12 countries, mostly in Africa and the Middle East, including Iran, Sudan, and Yemen. However, exceptions apply for green card holders, American citizens with dual nationality, and those with close family ties in the U.S. Athletes, refugees with approved asylum, and Afghan allies are also exempt. Some countries face partial bans to allow time for improved visa screening, reflecting a mix of security concerns and humanitarian considerations.

Yemenâs armed forces launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israelâs Ben Gurion Airport, halting operations and sending civilians into shelters. This marks the latest in a series of precise retaliatory strikes by the Houthis, who have previously targeted Israeli infrastructure. Three additional drone attacks hit Yaffa, Ashdod, and Umm al-Rashrash. Yemenâs President Mahdi Al-Mashat warned foreign companies to exit Israel or face "real and significant risks." The Yemen military stated operations will continue until Gazaâs blockade ends and aggression ceases, signaling potential escalation.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described Americaâs widely perceived failure against Yemenâs Houthis as a âtailored operation,â claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel.

The Houthis launched a major ballistic missile strike on Israel Thursday, triggering air raid sirens nationwide. Israeli forces intercepted the warhead, neutralizing the threat. The attack followed Israeli airstrikes on Sanaâa International Airport and a stern âHot Summerâ warning from Houthi leader Al-Mashat, who threatened intensified missile barrages and warned airlines flying to Ben Gurion Airport. Houthis claimed 22 operations against Israel in May alone, reaffirming support for Gaza and vowing to escalate attacks amid ongoing Red Sea tensions.

After months of high-stakes operations in the Red Sea, the USS Harry S. Truman has been forced to exit the region following a wave of Houthi missile and drone attacks, shocking aircraft losses, and a near-catastrophic collision near Egypt. The nuclear-powered supercarrier was seen transiting the Suez Canal under tight security, marking what many observers are calling a dramatic withdrawal under pressure. The exit follows a deployment marred by the loss of three F/A-18 Super Hornetsâone to friendly fireâand the removal of the shipâs commanding officer. The retreat raises serious questions about U.S. naval readiness and the growing reach of Iran-backed Houthi forces.

Trumpâs Big Defeat Against Houthis? The U.S. has withdrawn its aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, from the Red Sea without replacement â signaling what many see as a strategic retreat under pressure from Yemenâs Houthi forces. The move follows a ceasefire brokered by Oman, aiming to halt maritime attacks. But while the U.S. and Houthis have paused direct hostilities, Houthi operations against Israel continue.

Israelâs Defense Minister Israel Katz has ordered the IDF to block the Gaza-bound âMadeleineâ flotilla, calling it a âHamas propaganda stunt.â Greta Thunberg and other activists were warned to âturn backâ or face military intervention. Katz labeled the mission âanti-Semiticâ and promised Israel would act by sea, air, and land. French activists on board have appealed to President Macron for safe passage. Tensions rise as international attention focuses on the controversial voyage, with Israel determined to prevent a breach of the Gaza blockade.

Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists aboard the Madleen, a ship carrying aid to Gaza, have reached Egyptâs coast. Part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the vessel departed from Sicily to challenge Israelâs blockade on Gaza. The crew, including German activist Yasemin Acar, say they are safe but prepared for confrontation. The Israeli Navy is expected to intercept the UK-flagged ship if it enters Israeli waters, a move rights groups say would violate international law. Britain has so far refused Israeli requests to block the shipâs entry into contested waters.
