“You [Иран] “You must force the Houthi rebels, others who act as your proxies, obvious examples of Hezbollah in Lebanon, other groups in Iraq and Syria, you must force them to cease their activities because the world is running out of patience,” Shapps said. .
According to him, Britain “understands the meaning” of Iran’s actions, especially against the Houthis, and “nothing good will come of this.”
On the night of January 12, the USA and the UK attacked more than 60 targets in 16 targets belonging to the Houthi Ansarullah movement in Yemen. Explosions occurred in many major cities, and the airport in Sanaa came under intense bombardment. The American army reported that attacks were made with Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the British army reported that attacks were made with Paveway IV guided bombs.
US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak described the operation as a response to Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea. Yemen promised to respond “without hesitation”.
Previously Biden rejected reports of a proxy war with Iran.
