US Secretary of Defense: We Are Conducting Strikes Against the Houthis in Self-Defense • • • • • • In a statement by the US Secretary of Defense, it was confirmed that the United States is carrying out military strikes against the Houthis as part of self-defense efforts to protect American forces and interests. The Secretary noted that these strikes are in response to threats and attacks by Houthi militias targeting American assets in the region. He emphasized that US forces are committed to countering any direct threats aimed at them, clarifying that these operations are not acts of escalation but necessary defensive measures to ensure the safety of American personnel and facilities. • The statement comes amid growing tensions in the region, where Houthi attacks using drones and missiles have intensified. The Secretary reiterated the US commitment to protecting its national security and regional interests while stressing the importance of pursuing diplomatic solutions to end the conflict. • The remarks highlight the increasing volatility in the Middle East, especially with the escalation of attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi group. These attacks include targeting commercial ships, military installations, and vital infrastructure in the region with drones and ballistic missiles. • The Secretary underlined that US operations against the Houthis are primarily aimed at safeguarding American forces stationed in the region and ensuring the safety of international navigation, particularly in the Red Sea and near the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a critical global trade route. • He also clarified that these actions are purely defensive responses to direct threats, emphasizing that Washington is not seeking escalation or engaging in a full-scale confrontation with the Houthis or their supporters. However, he affirmed that the United States is prepared to take all necessary measures if the Houthis continue to threaten US interests or its regional partners. • This statement is part of broader US efforts to bolster its military presence in the region, including deploying an additional aircraft carrier and other warships, to maintain regional stability and deter potential threats. • • • • • • • • #US_and_Houthis #US_Defense_Secretary #Self_Defense #Middle_East_Tensions #Houthi_Attacks #Red_Sea #Maritime_Security #Military_Escalation #National_Security #Bab_al_Mandab #Regional_Tensions #Iran_and_Houthis #Middle_East_Conflict #Yemeni_Crisis #Drone_Attacks #US_Response #Protecting_US_Interests #Maritime_Lanes_Security #US_Forces #Yemen_Escalation #Middle_East_Security #International_Conflict #US_and_Yemen #Missile_Attacks #Political_Tensions #International_Navigation_Security #Regional_Escalation #Houthis_and_Iran #Iranian_Attacks #Yemen_War #Regional_Security #International_Security #Middle_East_Tensions #Armed_Conflicts #US_Defense
