Tensions flare in the Middle East after Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile towards Israel, triggering air raid sirens and prompting a sharp U.S. response. In a fiery statement, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee threatened to unleash B-2 Spirit stealth bombers on Yemen, escalating fears of a broader conflict. With Israel intercepting the missile and vowing retaliation, could the region be on the brink of a multi-front war? The B-2, capable of deep-penetration precision strikes, now looms as a symbol of American resolve. This video breaks down the attack, the U.S. warning, and the rising specter of military escalation from Gaza to Sanaa.

sraelâs Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemenâs Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, âYemen will be treated like Tehran,â referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: âWhoever raises a hand against Israel â that hand will be cut off.â
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?

Iran has firmly rejected the European Unionâs renewed call for nuclear talks, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi slamming the Westâs stance as âhypocriticalâ and âlegally baseless.â Araghchi accused EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas of disregarding international law and supporting Israeli aggression in the region. Citing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and UNSC Resolution 2231, Tehran insists it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Araghchi further declared the EU and UK irrelevant in future negotiations and warned that Western pressure will only deepen mistrust. As tensions rise and the JCPOA framework continues to unravel, is the door to diplomacy closing for good?
