A Complete Showdown between Biden's Navy and Yemen's Houthis | Red Sea Conflict Escalates | Oneindia
The US-led campaign to protect Israeli interests in the Red Sea has escalated into the "most intense" running sea battle the Navy has faced since World War II.
According to an AP report quoting American military commanders and experts, the US Navy has been engaged in relentless naval operations against Yemenâs Armed Forces for over seven months.
Commanders warn that the situation is extremely perilous, with daily attacks from Yemenâs Ansarullah movement, including missiles and drones, in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
This video covers the current state of the conflict, the challenges faced by the US Navy, and the broader implications for regional stability.
In a shocking incident over the Red Sea, the US Navy mistakenly shot down one of its own F/A-18 fighter jets in a friendly fire mishap. The jet, which had taken off from the USS Harry S. Truman, was downed by the USS Gettysburg during an operation to disrupt Houthi forces in Yemen. While the pilots ejected safely, the incident raises serious questions about military coordination. Watch the aftermath and the investigation into this unprecedented mistake.

The leader of Yemen's Houthi movement has issued a chilling warning to the United States, vowing catastrophic consequences in retaliation for perceived aggression. In a fiery statement, the Houthi chief declared that "America will face the gates of hell" as part of Yemenâs revenge, escalating tensions in an already volatile region. This declaration follows a series of Houthi attacks, including missile strikes and drone operations targeting Israel, which they claim are in solidarity with Palestinians. The provocative rhetoric signals the Houthisâ growing defiance and aligns with their broader strategy of opposing U.S. and allied actions in the Middle East.

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trumpâs opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

Iranâs Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has rejected claims that groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis act as proxy forces for Tehran. Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei emphasized that these groups operate independently based on their own interests and decisions, while acknowledging Iranâs support for their causes. Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Palestine, and the Houthis in Yemen are often accused by Western nations of serving as Iranâs regional proxies to expand its influence. However, Khamenei dismissed such accusations, stressing that these organizations are motivated by local grievances and ideological commitments, not Iranian directives.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

In a controversial move, Canada has officially designated Yemenâs Ansarullah (Houthi) movement as a âterrorist entity.â Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc claims the designation is part of Canadaâs global fight against terrorism and in alignment with its international allies. However, this decision comes despite Ansarullah's active role in combating extremist groups like Daesh and al-Qaeda in Yemen. The Canadian government also criticized Ansarullah's anti-Israel operations, which have targeted Israeli ships and military supplies. In this video, we break down the implications of this designation, examine Ansarullahâs role in Yemenâs ongoing conflict, and discuss the broader geopolitical ramifications.

President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to launch the "largest deportation program" in U.S. history, utilising military power to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants. This announcement follows his election victory, during which immigration reform was a central issue. Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants, focusing on stabilising the U.S.-Mexico border and addressing the surge in illegal crossings during President Joe Biden's administration. The program will involve military assets, with Trump amplifying the approach via social media. The initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of undocumented migrants in the country, impacting millions of families, with critics warning of potential legal and humanitarian concerns. Trumpâs plan signals a tough stance on immigration, promising to restore what he describes as national security and order at the southern border
