In a decisive move to curb the escalating hostilities in Yemen, the United States, alongside British forces and other allies, including Australia, the Netherlands, and Bahrain, launched a series of precision strikes against the Houthi regime. This action, taken in the early hours of Friday, targeted the Islamist group known for its attacks on civilian and military vessels in the Red Sea.

The coordinated assault involved over 100 precision bombs, cruise missiles, and rockets deployed from U.S. and British fighter jets and ship-based weapon systems. The main objective was to halt the near-daily assaults orchestrated by the Iran-backed Houthi militants. These attacks have been a significant threat to maritime security in the region.

The operation specifically targeted Houthi missile depots, command centers, weapon factories, and launch sites for anti-ship weaponry. This strategic move was a direct response to the findings of the think tank "IISS," which reported that Iran supplied the Houthis with various types of anti-ship cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. These weapons have been used to extend Tehran's terror influence in the Red Sea, leading to the attack and capture of more than 25 ships since mid-October, including the kidnapping of over 20 sailors who remain detained in Yemen.

British Typhoon fighter jets supported the US operation against the Yemen terrorists from Cyprus.

In a sophisticated strategy, the U.S. and UK forces aimed not only to destroy the Houthi's weapon systems but also to render the militants deaf and blind to future attacks. This was achieved using AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles strategically aimed at Houthi radar stations. Observers speculate that this may have been a trap, luring the Houthis into activating their radar systems in anticipation of the strikes.

In a remarkable tactical move, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and U.S. President Joe Biden hinted at the upcoming attacks hours before they commenced. This deliberate leak likely prompted the Houthis to activate their radar systems, unwittingly making them visible targets for the U.S. pilots' AGM-88 missiles.

As the campaign against the Houthi extremists continues, the coalition forces will assess the impact of the strikes and determine the destruction of all intended targets. This assessment will guide the future course of the operation against the Houthi terrorists. Meanwhile, reports of new aerial movements over northern Yemen by the Houthis have emerged as of Friday afternoon, indicating that the conflict might be far from over.

The coalition's resolve remains firm as they work towards restoring peace and security in the region, countering the destabilizing actions of the Houthi militants and their Iranian backers.
