The Houthis,took over the Yemeni capital Sanaa in September 2014 and seized control over much of north Yemen by 2016. Yemeni officials and Sunni states have repeatedly alleged that Iran and its proxy Hezbollah have provided arms, training, and financial support to the Houthis. But Iranian and Hezbollah officials have denied or downplayed the claims. The United States, in coordination with Saudi Arabia, has presented physical evidence of Iranian arms transfers to the group.
The US has designated the Houthis in Yemen as a terror group.

Open Source Intelligence Monitor also shared a response from the U.S. Dept of Defense in a tweet.
The US Department of Defense has stated that any kind of Response to the Cruise Missile and Drone launches last night by the Houthis in Yemen and the Attack on Al-Asad Airbase will come at a “Time and Manner of our Choosing.”
According to a US official, the missiles were launched by Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. Approximately 2-3 missiles were intercepted.
The U.S. has sent a significant amount of naval power to the Middle East in the past week, including two aircraft carriers, their support ships and about 2,000 Marines.
According to a tweet by US Fleet Forces, the US Carney only moved into the Red Sea yesterday, and that they are only there to help “Ensure Maritime Security and Stability in the Middle East Region.”

Earlier today, the Gateway Pundit reported about the initial attack on the US Military Base in Southern Syria.
A military base in southern Syria where U.S. troops have maintained a presence to train forces as part of a broad campaign against the Islamic State group was attacked by drones on Thursday, two U.S. officials told The Associated Press.
One drone was shot down, but another caused in minor injuries, said one of the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter before an official announcement about the incident.
The attacks follow similar drone strikes over the past few days against U.S. and coalition bases in Iraq amid simmering anger in the region after an explosion at a Gaza hospital killed hundreds of people.
Earlier this month the United States military shot down a Turkish drone (fellow NATO member) over Syria.
According to the Associated Press, the Turkish drone, which was reportedly armed, was too close to US troops in Hasakah, Syria and was shot down after more than a dozen warnings.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that the Houthis missile and drone attacks and the reported attacks on the two US Military Bases in Syria are connected. We will update this story as more information becomes available.
