Yemen’s Houthi rebels issue a statement threatening the United States if it joins the Israeli campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear and military assets.

“If the US is involved in an attack and aggression against Iran with the Israeli enemy, the armed forces will target its ships and warships in the Red Sea,” says the Iran-backed group’s military spokesman, Yahya Saree.
