Yemen’s Houthis say they will target US ships if Washington strikes Iran

Yemen’s Houthi rebels will target US ships in the Red Sea if Washington gets involved in Israel’s attacks on Iran, the group’s military spokesperson says.

Yemeni state media reported the statement, which the spokesperson said reaffirmed the group’s firm stance against “Zionist aggression” directed at any Arab or Islamic country.

Tehran in shock: Fleeing with heavy hearts

After three days of evaluating the situation, my family and I decided to join the countless others who already fled Tehran.

After hurriedly packing some clothes and a few belongings in a suitcase, I drove from my own place to my girlfriend’s house to pick her up at about 4pm. Her parents, who work in healthcare, needed to stay in Tehran that day, but they have since left as well after Israeli air strikes intensified in their neighbourhood.

We then picked up my mother – along with our four cats who have been staying with her – from her home in western Tehran, close to a major road that exits the capital.

Israeli bombs were falling on multiple areas as we scurried to leave.
