Red Sea: Do U.S.-U.K. strikes on Houthis in Yemen signal step closer to wider conflict?

In the Middle East, tensions are escalating beyond the crisis in Gaza, after a series of joint British-American strikes on Houthi rebels late Thursday — retaliation to the Iran-backed group’s attacks on ships travelling in the Red Sea since November. According to U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, missiles and aircraft struck 60 targets in 16 locations: a combination of Houthi air defence systems, logistical hubs, and facilities storing drones and weapons. As Jackson Proskow reports, the strikes possibly signal another concerning step to a wider conflict in the region — one that many had feared for months.
