Anti-Houthi forces have warned Washington that Yemen’s Houthi movement plans to target American warships if the United States launches any strike on Iran, opening a dangerous new front in the regional standoff. The warning follows a day of dramatic incidents at sea, including a U.S. F-35C jet shooting down an Iranian drone that approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea.
Tensions escalated further when Iranian boats reportedly confronted a U.S-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, an encounter Washington labeled harassment while Tehran called routine. With clashes multiplying across the Red Sea and Gulf waterways, analysts fear a single miscalculation could trigger open war involving Iran, the Houthis, and U.S. naval forces.
