In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia. Houthi warned of potential strikes on U.S. warships if they entered the Red Sea, while hailing Yemeni forces for their successful naval attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham. He criticised Arab regimes for their ties with Israel and urged a mass uprising in Yemen to show solidarity with Palestine, calling for nationwide protests against the U.S-Israeli aggression.

In a bold statement, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced plans to create a 30-kilometer-deep security zone within Syria. The zone is aimed at targeting Kurdish militants, particularly those from the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) and its affiliates, the PYD and YPG. These groups are considered terrorist organizations by Turkey, and Erdogan emphasized the need for such a zone to secure Turkey’s borders and combat terrorism.

The US military has launched a series of airstrikes targeting sites in Syria associated with Iran-aligned groups, a day after an assault on America’s largest command centre in the region. The strikes, conducted by US Central Command, were in retaliation for recent attacks on US personnel stationed in Syria. Centcom emphasised that the action was a direct response to the escalating violence aimed at American forces, underscoring the US's commitment to protecting its troops and partners in the region.
The airstrikes, which hit multiple sites believed to be linked to Iranian-backed militias, aim to degrade the ability of these groups to plan and execute future attacks against US forces. The US military presence in Syria, primarily focused on combating ISIS remnants, has faced increasing threats from Iran-aligned militias, complicating efforts to stabilise the region. Centcom's statement reinforced that such attacks on US forces would not be tolerated, sending a strong message to Tehran-backed militants. The escalation comes amid growing tensions in Syria, where Iran-backed groups maintain a significant presence, particularly in the east.
