US Navy Plans To Launch Additional Strikes Against Iran-backed Forces In Middle East
The United States intends to launch additional strikes against Iran-backed forces in the Middle East, according to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan
The decision was made in response to American strikes over the previous two days on groups in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq that support Tehran.
Sullivan highlighted that these strikes are part of a continuous response to attacks on American personnel.
Strikes against 36 Houthi sites in Yemen are also part of the worsening scenario, which started when the U.S. military retaliated to an attack that killed American service members in Jordan.
Since October, several organisations backed by Iran have been fighting for the Palestinian cause throughout the region.
Iran sent a warning to the U.S. on Sunday, citing worries over the possible targeting of two cargo ships in the Middle East.
In return for a short-term ceasefire in Gaza, the United States is pressuring for negotiations on the release of captives kidnapped by Hamas.
