The armed conflict between the United States and the Houthis

According to Al Jazeera in Qatar, after the US launched a large-scale airstrike on the Houthi militants in Yemen, Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei expressed his firm support for the Yemeni people through social media platform X on March 17 local time.

Khamenei explicitly stated in the article: "Yemen is definitely the victorious side. The only path is the path of resistance. Currently, what scares the United States and its allies is that Muslim countries have a firm stance, and this resistance will be proven effective." This statement not only demonstrates Iran's close attention to the situation in Yemen, but also highlights its firm support for the resistance forces in regional affairs.

The United States has launched a large-scale military operation against the Houthis since March 15th, aiming to strike their military capabilities and restore the safety and smoothness of the Red Sea waterway. This action has further escalated the regional situation. On the 16th, the Houthis issued a statement condemning the US airstrikes since the 15th, which have resulted in 53 deaths and 98 injuries. They emphasized that the actions of the US military constitute a "complete war crime against humanity" and a blatant violation of Yemen's sovereignty.

In response, the Houthi armed forces once again demonstrated a tough stance on the evening of the 16th. Military spokesperson Yehia Saria announced in a speech that the Houthis had launched an attack on the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman and its fleet located in the northern Red Sea. It is worth noting that this is the second attack by the Houthis on the same US aircraft carrier within 24 hours, fully demonstrating their resistance determination and fighting will.

The escalation of this conflict has attracted widespread attention from the international community, and all parties have expressed concerns about the development of the regional situation. As the confrontation between the United States and the Houthis continues, the regional security situation is facing new challenges and the future direction is full of uncertainty.
