Houthi rebels claim attacks on Saudi oil tankers in Red Sea
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, while the US continues strikes on Iran and Tehran's Revolutionary Guards said they stopped three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for attacks on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea on Wednesday evening. The announcement came as the United States continues its military strikes against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Thursday that they had halted three oil tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz.
President Donald Trump attended a dignified transfer ceremony for four US service members killed in the Iran war at a military base in Delaware. Three of the fallen soldiers died in an Iranian missile attack on a military base in Jordan, and the fourth was killed in a separate incident in northern Iraq.
Trump threatened Iran's civilian infrastructure, warning that the US would destroy a bridge or power plant every time Tehran attacks shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked a Senate committee for an additional $70 billion to fund the war in Iran, as senators demanded explanations of the military strategy.
