Houthis pose ‘aggressive danger’ to the world: US legislator
US Congressman Morgan Griffith, a Virginia Republican, has denounced the Houthi missile launch against Israel.
“Houthi rebels launched a missile at Central Israel this weekend, the latest sign they pose a more aggressive danger to the region and the world,” Griffith said in a social media post.
“Their missile and drone attacks against US Naval ships this year mark the most intense running sea battle faced by the US since WWII [World War II].”
The US has been bombing Houthi positions in Yemen since January in response to the group’s attacks against shipping lanes in the region. But the US campaign has so far failed to stop the Houthis’ military operations.
The Yemeni group says it is attacking Israel-linked ships to pressure an end to the Israeli assault on Gaza.
US' ironclad support for genocide poses an aggressive danger to the world.

Houthi official says US offered ‘concessions’ to end group’s attacks
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti says the United States and United Kingdom have offered “concessions” and “threats” to the Houthis, through mediators, in order to stop the Yemeni group’s attacks in support of Gaza.
Al-Bukhaiti told Al Jazeera Mubasher that one of the “temptations” offered by the US was proposing recognition of the Houthi-controlled Yemeni government in Sanaa.
“Our position has been clear,” al-Bukhaiti said, stressing that the Houthis will not negotiate over their support for Palestinians.
‘Propaganda’: US denies offering recognition of Houthi government
Al-Bukhaiti said Washington even offered to recognise the Houthi-controlled government in Sanaa. The US has now categorically dismissed that account.
“Houthi propaganda is rarely true or newsworthy. Coverage like this puts a guise of credibility on their misinformation,” a senior State Department official told Al Jazeera in an email.
