Yemen's Houthi foreign minister says the group will not back down from their actions against Israeli shipping in the Red Sea despite US military pressure and appeals from Iran. The US launched strikes in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthis after the group announced they were resuming attacks on Red Sea shipping to support Palestinians in Gaza. Iran reportedly delivered a message to the Houthi envoy in Tehran to cool tensions, but the group says Iran does not dictate their decisions. The Houthi foreign minister also warned that Yemen is now at war with the US and they have the right to defend themselves.
