Yemen’s Houthi rebel group claimed to have conducted multiple missile tests this month, including new missiles equipped with multiple warheads and ranges exceeding 2,000 kilometers. The announcement came amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, with the group claiming it is strengthening its defense capabilities. Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi mocked the U.S. 2015 withdrawal from Sana’a, calling it a defeat, and reaffirmed support for Iran while criticizing Israel. The group has also threatened renewed Red Sea shipping attacks as the USS Abraham Lincoln moves into the region. Israeli officials are reportedly reviewing contingency plans amid concerns of a broader confrontation.
