Find out how the US and UK's military actions are shaking up global geopolitics!

In a dramatic turn of events, the United States and the United Kingdom have initiated massive air and sea strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen. The strikes, carried out with the support of allied countries like Australia, Canada, and Bahrain, mark a significant escalation in the conflict. Lawmakers are raising concerns over the constitutionality of President Biden's decision to launch these strikes without seeking approval from Congress, sparking debates on presidential war powers.

The airstrikes come in response to escalating attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels on international shipping vessels in the Red Sea, posing a direct threat to global security and oil markets. Market analysts are closely monitoring the implications of these military actions on oil prices and international trade. As tensions rise in the Middle East, there are fears of a broader regional conflict that could have far-reaching consequences.

In the midst of these developments, President Biden and Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III have issued statements justifying the coalition strikes as necessary measures to counter Houthi aggression. The Houthis, on the other hand, have vowed to continue their attacks, highlighting the complex and volatile nature of the situation in Yemen. As the world watches closely, the aftermath of these airstrikes could have long-lasting effects on the region and international relations.

In a surprising twist, European countries like Italy, Spain, and France have refrained from participating in the US and UK-led strikes, underscoring divisions within the international community. The conflict in Yemen remains a flashpoint in the ongoing power struggles and proxy wars in the Middle East, with implications for global stability and security.
