Yemen’s rebel government says it supports a vow by its armed wing a day earlier to hit US ships in the Red Sea should Washington launch strikes on Iran.

“We affirm the Republic of Yemen’s commitment to the armed forces’ declaration that they were ready to target US ships and warships in the Red Sea,” the government says in a statement after the United States launched attacks on Iran.
