Despite ongoing US airstrikes targeting Houthi infrastructure in Yemen, the rebel group appears undeterred and may even be welcoming the conflict. Analysts suggest the Houthis see the strikes as an opportunity to provoke a broader regional confrontation with the United States. The US has targeted oil refineries, airports, and missile sites in an effort to stop Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping. However, the Houthis continue to resist, and recent reports indicate casualties from the strikes may be higher than officially acknowledged. The situation risks escalating tensions across the Middle East.
