Houthis’ Revenge Strike SHOCKS U.S, Israel | USS Carl Vinson, Truman Pounded by Ballistic Missiles

Houthis have launched a powerful revenge attack targeting U.S. and Israeli military assets. The USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman aircraft carriers were struck by ballistic missiles and drones in a coordinated assault in the Arabian and Red Seas. This marks the first strike on the Carl Vinson since its arrival in the region. Houthis claim the attack is a direct response to the recent deadly U.S. airstrike on Yemen’s oil port that killed 58 people. In another blow to U.S. capabilities, a fifth American MQ-9 drone was shot down over Sana'a. As tensions soar, this bold strike signals a turning point in the regional power struggle. #HouthiAttack #HouthisVsUS #USWarshipsTargeted #RedSeaCrisis #HouthisStrikeBack #YemenConflict #USVsHouthis #HouthiMissileStrike #DroneWarfare #USNavyUnderAttack #HouthiRebels #HouthisLive #USStrikesHouthis #MiddleEastTensions #BreakingRedSea Also Read Yemen's Houthi Rebels Launch Attack Near Commercial Vessel in Red Sea Amid Ongoing Conflicts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/attack-by-yemens-houthi-rebels-explosions-near-ship-red-sea-011-3985455.html?ref=DMDesc US Military Conducts Airstrikes Against Houthi Rebels in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-airstrikes-on-houthi-rebels-in-yemen-011-3952543.html?ref=DMDesc Yemen's Houthi Rebels Launch Attack in Gulf of Aden; Ship Unharmed :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/houthis-target-ship-gulf-of-aden-amid-eisenhower-departure-011-3859841.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~GR.344~HT.410~

‘ARM PALESTINIANS NOW’: Houthi Urges Arab Nations To Defend Gaza Against U.S. and Israel

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi issued a fiery warning, urging all Arab nations to arm every Palestinian in defense against what he calls the U.S.-enabled “genocidal war” on Gaza. He claims Washington is supplying Israel with weapons while turning a blind eye to mass civilian deaths, medical facility destruction, and Gaza's forced displacement. As Rafah faces encirclement, al-Houthi warns Egypt’s national security is at risk. The Houthis blame Arab regimes for past disarmament and call for immediate military support to Palestinian resistance groups. Israel, backed by the U.S., continues strikes across Gaza and Lebanon. #Houthi #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #USPolitics #MiddleEast #WarOnGaza #AbdulMalikAlHouthi #Rafah #Resistance #ArabWorld #GazaWar #IsraelStrikes #Ceasefire #ArabNations #AnsarAllah #Hezbollah #QassamBrigades #QudsBrigades #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianCrisis #Zionism #ArmsSupply #USWeapons #TelAviv #IsraelGaza #Displacement #PalestinianResistance #GlobalTensions Also Read Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Airstrikes Have Killed At Least 200 People In Gaza, Health Officials Say :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-airstrikes-have-killed-at-least-200-people-in-gaza-health-officials-say-4097629.html?ref=DMDesc Explainer: How Israel’s Growing Entry Restrictions Are Blocking Doctors and Aid Workers from Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explainer-how-israels-growing-entry-restrictions-are-blocking-doctors-and-aid-workers-from-gaza-4096773.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~

Civil War In Syria: Scores of Alawites Killed as HTS Sectarian Violence Erupts | Watch Video

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structure—some goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now. Trump’s administration has unleashed a historic wave of tariffs, including legacy measures from his first term, Biden-era expansions, and new 2025 hikes. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says it’s open to talks—but not to blackmail. #Trump #TariffWar #USChina #245PercentTariff #TradeCrisis #ChinaResponse #WhiteHouse #LinJian #EconomicWar #ImportTax #GlobalTrade #USPolitics #BreakingNews #Trump2025 #TariffUpdate #BidenEraTariffs #LithiumBattery #ChinaExports #SyringeTax #PharmaTariffs #TradePressure #ChinaRetaliation #SquidTariff #SweaterTax #TariffShock #ForeignPolicy #TariffClarification #TradeBattle #USTR #TrumpVsChina #GlobalMarkets Also Read Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Why Is New Syrian Regime Hunting Down And Killing Alawites Amid Escalating Sectarian Violence In Country? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/why-is-new-syrian-regime-hunting-down-and-killing-alawites-amid-escalating-sectarian-violence-in-cou-4090547.html?ref=DMDesc Syria On Boil: Over 1,000 Dead As Alawite Minority Targeted In 'Revenge Killings' By Current Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syria-on-boil-over-1-000-dead-as-alawite-minority-targeted-in-revenge-killings-by-current-regime-4090369.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~GR.124~

Israel Declares INDEFINITE Military Stay In Gaza, Lebanon & Syria| 'Protecting Settlers' the goal

Israel's Minister of Military Affairs, Israel Katz, has declared that troops will remain in Gaza, Lebanon, and southern Syria indefinitely. He claimed this military presence serves as a "buffer" to protect Israeli settlers. Despite ceasefires and truce deals, Israel continues occupying territory, intensifying operations in Gaza while rejecting peace negotiations. Katz's statement signals a long-term strategy of control, not just retaliation against Hamas. Since March 18, over 1,600 Palestinians have been killed following Israel's resumption of military operations, part of a broader campaign that has killed over 51,000 since October 7. #Israel #Gaza #Lebanon #Syria #MiddleEastConflict #IsraelKatz #IDF #MilitaryOccupation #Hamas #Ceasefire #Hostages #WarOnGaza #Palestine #IsraelNews #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #Hezbollah #OccupiedTerritories #GazaUnderAttack #MiddleEastPolitics #UNResponse #PeaceProcess #MilitaryStrategy #PermanentOccupation #SettlerViolence #TruceViolation #WarCrimes #GazaCrisis Also Read Rawhi Mushtaha, Hamas Govt Chief In Gaza, 'Eliminated' In Israeli Airstrikes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rawhi-mushtaha-hamas-govt-chief-in-gaza-eliminated-in-israeli-airstrikes-3951135.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Military Chief Signals Potential Ground Operation Amid Escalating Tensions with Hezbollah :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-military-prepares-ground-operation-lebanon-011-3945045.html?ref=DMDesc Israeli Military Drafting Ultra-Orthodox Men May Destabilize Netanyahu's Government :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israeli-military-to-draft-ultra-orthodox-men-011-3880659.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.344~

'Russia To Keep All Ukranian Territories': NATO & EU Horrified As Trump Sides With Putin In War

In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise. #Ukraine #Russia #USCeasefirePlan #RussiaUkraineWar #Ceasefire #PeaceDeal #UkraineWar #RussiaNews #ISWMap #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Geopolitics #Biden #Putin #NATO #SecurityGuarantees #FrozenConflict #TerritorialDispute #USForeignPolicy #UkrainePeace #ParisTalks #RussiaSanctions #CeasefireMonitoring #UkraineConflict #PostWarEurope #UkraineBorders #OccupiedTerritories #RussiaKeepsLand #PeaceAtWhatCost Also Read Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc Diplomatic Breakthrough: Russia and Ukraine Commit to Black Sea Maritime Safety :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/diplomatic-breakthrough-russia-and-ukraine-commit-to-black-sea-maritime-safety-4105123.html?ref=DMDesc What Makes Ukraine’s Minerals So Special?

U.S Threatens Exit From Ukraine Peace Talks| Trump Could Walk Away If No Deal, Rubio Warns In Paris

President Trump may abandon peace talks between Russia and Ukraine within days if no progress is made. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. won’t prolong discussions without clear signs of a breakthrough. Following high-level meetings in Paris, the White House is growing frustrated with stalled negotiations. Trump, who has personally invested in the process, is also eyeing a new mineral deal with Kyiv after a failed attempt in February. A complete U.S. withdrawal could collapse global peace efforts as no other nation holds the same influence. #Trump #Ukraine #Russia #PeaceTalks #MarcoRubio #WhiteHouse #Putin #Zelenskyy #UkraineWar #USForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #Ceasefire #MineralDeal #JDVance #ParisTalks #UkraineCrisis #NATO #GlobalPeace #RussiaUkraine #TrumpPolicy #InternationalRelations #WorldNews #Rubio #Zelensky #Kyiv #USPolitics #Diplomacy #BidenEraShift #PeaceDeal #TrumpDoctrine Also Read US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
