A Saudi-led military coalition has carried out strikes on the Houthi-controlled port city of Hodeida in Yemen. The attacks come after the Iran-backed Houthi group attacked several Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea in recent days. The escalation coincides with heightened tensions between the United States and Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route. US President Donald Trump said Washington remains ready to respond if necessary but is also pursuing diplomatic talks with Tehran. The coalition strikes targeted the Hodeida governorate, which is held by Houthi forces. The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for years, with the coalition backing the internationally recognized government against the Houthis. The recent attacks mark a significant escalation in the region as both the US and Iran assert their positions. No casualties have been reported from the latest strikes. The situation remains tense as international efforts to de-escalate continue.
