US President Joe Biden said on Saturday that his administration had privately sent a message to Iran regarding attacks by Yemens rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, in the Red Sea.

Washington: US President Joe Biden said on Saturday that his administration had privately sent a message to Iran regarding attacks by Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, in the Red Sea.

The United States and the United Kingdom launched new airstrikes on the positions of the rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, in western Yemen on Sunday evening, a military source told Sputnik.

The United States and its coalition partners did not conduct any strikes on Ansar Allah (Houthi) positions in Yemen on Sunday, a US defense official told Sputnik.

The Houthis announced their participation in the Israel-Gaza war on 19 November in spectacular fashion, landing a helicopter on a cargo ship and taking control of it. Since then, they have increased the tempo of attacks, without mounting anything quite as ambitious.

Rishi Sunak described Friday's strikes against the Houthis as limited, necessary and proportionate action - but they were still extensive.

A senior official of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has warned that the American and British naval fleet will be a “legitimate” target for the countrys armed forces following heightened tensions over Western support for Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
