THE Tudeh Party of Iran once again warns of the serious and immediate danger of the spread of military conflicts in the region. On Thursday January 11, the US and Britain launched air and missile attacks against the Houthi forces in Yemen.
 
According to the headquarters of US Central Command, more than 30 targets, including “command and control facilities, ammunition depots, launch systems, production facilities and air defence radar systems” of the Houthis were attacked in different regions of Yemen.
 
Following these attacks and President Joe Biden’s threats regarding the continuation of military attacks against the Houthi forces in Yemen, on Saturday January 13, the US once again targeted the positions of the Houthis in Yemen with Tomahawk missiles. Several US lawmakers condemned the actions of the Biden administration for not being given the green light from Congress.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: “Limited, necessary and proportionate actions have been taken in self-defence alongside the US.” He went on to say that the Netherlands, Canada, and Bahrain have also declared their support for these attacks without directly participating in the operations to degrade the military capabilities of the Houthis and protect global shipping. The governments of Australia, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand, and South Korea also supported these operations by issuing statements.

In recent weeks, the US and British governments have accused the Houthis of conducting a proxy war for Iran. Tens of thousands of peace-loving forces came to the streets in several European countries, including Britain, as well as the US, Yemen, South Africa and other countries, in protest against these warmongering policies.
