The U.S. and U.K. launched fresh strikes on eight Houthi targets in Yemen Monday. It’s the second time the two countries conducted a joint attack, and the eighth strike by U.S. forces against the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen over the past two weeks, in retaliation for Houthi forces targeting ships in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea to protest Israel’s war on Gaza. Massive protests have filled the streets of Yemen since the foreign attacks started, and after the U.S. recently redesignated the Houthi movement as a terrorist group. This is journalist and activist Issa Al-Sayani.

Issa Al-Sayani: “We say to the United States that this classification will not cause the Yemeni people any fears regarding their support of Gaza. This classification is an evasion and cover-up by the United States and Israel for the crimes they committed against the Palestinian people.”
