s on the capital, Sana'a, and Bayda, Hodeidah, and Saada provinces.

According to local sources in Sana’a, an American raid targeted a hall under construction in a residential neighborhood of the al-Thawra district, which led to the damage of several homes adjacent to the hall.

In Bayda, local sources confirmed that the American warplanes bombed areas in the al-Sawadiya district.

According to the sources, Hodeidah was subjected to a similar aggression targeting the east of the city, in conjunction with American bombing of Saada province in the north of the country.

Trump vows to ‘annihilate’ Houthis, warns Iran against support, as US strikes Yemen

[IsraelTimes] Tehran must ‘immediately’ stop sending Yemeni rebels weapons supplies, US president says, shortly after American airstrikes hit Houthi targets in Sanaa

US President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down...
on Wednesday said Yemen

’s Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels "will be completely annihilated," warning Tehran against continuing to provide aid for the group during an ongoing US military campaign against them.

"Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
must stop the sending of these Supplies IMMEDIATELY. Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.

The American leader referred to reports that Iran "has lessened its intensity on Military Equipment and General Support" for the Houthis, though he added that "they are still sending large levels of Supplies."

"Tremendous damage has been inflicted upon the Houthi barbarians, and watch how it will get progressively worse — It’s not even a fair fight, and never will be. They will be completely annihilated!" his post continued.

Shortly before Trump posted his threat to Iran and the Houthis on social media, the US military carried out a series of ~~Arclight~~ airstrike

s on a Houthi stronghold in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, three residents told Rooters.

According to the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, "an American attack targeted the capital Sanaa... and the area of the town of Saada" in the north. It later added that strikes had also hit the district of al-Sawadiya, southeast of Sanaa.

The United States began launching heavy strikes against the Houthis on Saturday, as Washington pledged overwhelming force until the rebels stop firing on key shipping routes in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

On Saturday, the Houthi-run health ministry said US strikes killed 53 people and maimed nearly 100 others. The United States has said the attacks killed several brass hats.

On Tuesday, the rebels took responsibility for a missile fired at Israel and intercepted, and vowed to escalate attacks, in the wake of the resumption of massive military operations in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

The missile, which the Houthis said targeted an airbase, was the first reported attack on Israel from Yemen since a January 19 ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas

war.

Part of Iran’s "axis of resistance" against the United States and Israel, the Houthis have been attacking ships in the trade lane since the start of Israel’s war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza, claiming solidarity with Paleostinians.

Attacks by Houthis — whose slogans call for "Death to America," "Death to Israel," and a "curse on Jews" — have forced many vessels to take a much longer, more expensive route around Africa.

Washington has pledged overwhelming force until the rebels stop firing on key shipping routes.

More on the attacks reported yesterday:

The US launched airstrikes on multiple targets across Yemen overnight, including Saada province, which Yemeni sources say is a long-time hideout for Houthi leaders, and the Red Sea port city of Hodeida, Houthi media reported on Wednesday.

The US Central Command confirmed its “continuous operations against Iran-back Houthi terrorists.”

Meanwhile, the Houthis’ military spokesperson said cruise missiles and drones targeted the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group in an attack that was “the fourth within 72 hours.”

Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported more than 10 US strikes on various locations, including the Al-Safra district in Saada. The district, which houses weapons storage and training sites, is considered one of the terror group’s most important and heavily fortified military strongholds, according to Yemeni sources.

#3 I doubt Iran has been able to send many serious weapons to the Houthis since the US began its operations there.

They must have had a large amount stored before that however as they have managed to launch hundreds , maybe thousands, of drones and missiles

#1 "Europe" was never going to make this move. Europe is no longer relevant in any serious discussion of world affairs.
