US Strikes Houthi-Controlled Fuel Port in Yemen

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled Ras Isa fuel port in Yemen, aiming to degrade the Houthis' economic power and disrupt their funding sources. According to U.S. Central Command, the port has provided both fuel and illegal revenue to the Iran-backed Houthis, supporting their military operations and contributing to regional instability. The U.S. military emphasized that the strikes targeted the Houthis' economic assets without intending harm to Yemeni civilians. These actions are part of broader U.S. efforts, including financial sanctions, to curtail Houthi capabilities and reduce their threat to maritime commerce in the Red Sea region.
