The Rising Storm: Houthi Retaliation and Global Impact

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels vowed Sunday that a wave of joint U.S.-British retaliatory airstrikes "will not pass without response and punishment" as the Israeli-Hamas war teetered on the brink of a far broader and more deadly regional conflict.

"These attacks will not deter us from our moral, religious and humanitarian stance in support of the steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip," Houthis spokesman Ameen Hayyan said in a statement.
