Countering Russia's accusations, Deputy US Ambassador to UN, Robert Wood, justified the strikes under Article 51 of the founding UN Charter as states' right to self-defense against armed attack.
Strikes late Saturday hit buried weapons storage facilities, missile systems, launchers & other capabilities Houthis have used to attack Red Sea shipping, the Pentagon said.
The strike targeted sites associated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard and the militias it backs, in response to the attack in Jordan last weekend that killed three US troops
The Iraqi armed group has announced its decision to halt all military operations against the US in the region, in a decision aimed at preventing 'embarrassment of the Iraqi govt'.
Iran has denied any role. US President Biden has previously ordered retaliatory attacks on Iran-backed groups but has so far stopped short of hitting Iran directly.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
