US and UK hit 30 Houthi targets to further weaken Iran-backed groups

F/A-18 fighters hit Houthi targetsSaturday in another wave of assaults meant to further disable Iran-backed groups that have attacked US and international interests in response to the Israel-Hamas war.

Ships and fighter jets on Saturday launched strikes against the Houthis. It followed an air assault in Iraq and Syria on Friday targeting other Iran-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in retaliation for the drone strike that killed three US troops – William Jerome Rivers, Kennedy Ladon Sanders and Breonna Alexsondria Moffett – in Jordan last weekend.

The US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, said the military action “sends a clear message to the Houthis that they will continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels.”

Amelia Earhart

A modern-day ocean explorer has claimed to have possibly solved one of the great mysteries of modern aviation by publishing sonar images which he claims may show the wreckage of the the airplane flown by Amelia Earhart at the bottom of the Pacific.

Earhart’s plane disappeared over the Pacific in 1937 as she sought to become the first woman to fly around the world. Ever since then, mystery has surrounded the American aviator’s fate amid intense speculation as to what happened to her.

But Tony Romeo, a pilot and former US air force intelligence officer, told the Wall Street Journal on Friday he may have solved the mystery after he collected a sonar image of what could be an aircraft as part of his quest to find Earhart’s plane.

3 US troops killed in Mideast, Biden blames 'Iran-backed militants'

3 US soldiers killedThree U.S. service members were killed and dozens wounded Sunday in a drone attack by "Iran-backed militants" at a U.S. base along the Jordanian-Syrian border as the war in Gaza continued to show signs of spreading across the region.

They are the first U.S. troops killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on Oct. 7, igniting the war that has led to more than 26,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza. Identities of the service members will be withheld until 24 hours after their families have been notified, U.S. Central Command said.

President Joe Biden issued a statement saying an investigation was underway but that "we know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups" operating in Syria and Iraq. The three were "patriots in the highest sense" and the nation is grieving, he said.

"We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism," Biden said. "Have no doubt − we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner our choosing."

U.S. troops wounded by Iranian-backed militant attack in Iraq

US al=asad airbase in IraqIranian-backed militants attacked U.S. and and Iraqi troops Saturday at a base in western Iraq with ballistic missiles and rockets, and some American service members are being evaluated for traumatic brain injuries, according to U.S. officials.

The attack with ballistic missiles on the al-Asad base represents an escalation of the dozens of attacks mounted by the militants since Israel's invasion of Gaza. Until Saturday, most of the attacks have been relatively minor and involved drones and rockets in Iraq and Syria. Ballistic missiles can carry heavier explosive loads.

The Biden administration has sought to contain the fighting to Gaza but has increasingly been drawn into skirmishes with Iranian-backed militants across the Middle East. In Yemen, the Pentagon on Saturday mounted its sixth attack on Houthi militants to destroy what U.S. Central Command said was an anti-ship missile that was poised for launch into shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
