In a continuation of their military response, the United States has launched a second consecutive day of strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The strikes come in the wake of warnings from the Iran-aligned group, stating their intention to retaliate against a series of attacks on their facilities.

According to the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM), Tomahawk missiles were deployed from the US Navy’s USS Carney, targeting a Houthi radar site. This move is described as a “follow-on action” following a joint effort by the US and the United Kingdom, involving land and sea attacks aimed at Houthi military sites across Yemen. The objective of these strikes is to prevent the Houthi group from targeting merchant and military vessels in the Red Sea.

Dr David Bull and Dr Renee Hoenderkamp speak with political commentators Benedict Spence and Mike Indian on the unfolding escalation at the Red Sea.
