Israel attacks Yemeni ports, Houth-run television says
ADEN, May 16 (Reuters) - Israel attacked Yemen's ports of Hodeidah and Salif along the country's Red Sea coast on Friday, the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said, in an apparent response to the militant group's missile launches against Israel.
Al Masirah did not provide further details, but two residents in Hodeidah said they heard four loud booms. There was no immediate comment on the attack from Israel.
The Houthis have continued to fire missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, although they have agreed to halt attacks on U.S. ships.
The Israeli military, which has carried out numerous retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets, intercepted a missile launched by the group on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Israel issued evacuation orders for the ports of Ras Isa, Hodeidah and Salif, saying they were being used by the Iranian-aligned Houthis.

Marjorie Taylor Greene rips Trump Mideast policy saying ‘Americans don't want to bomb Iran' for Israel
A top MAGA firebrand in Congress, who has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, has come out strongly against the president's policy of defending Israel against regional aggressors like Iran. Marjorie Taylor Greene joined the chorus of both 'America First' isolationists and far-left progressives opposed to the U.S. being drawn into a war with Iran as she tweeted late Wednesday evening: 'Americans don't want to bomb Iran because the secular government of Israel says that Iran is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb any day now. ' Greene added that she doesn't 'know anyone that even thinks about Iran' in her district. Her tweet came in response to a flurry of reporting around Washington indicating that the State Department's decision to move nonessential embassy staff out of Baghdad, Iraq's capital, was tied to concerns about violence escalating in the region as a result of an impending Israeli attack. Indeed, on Thursday Trump said to reporters that an Israeli strike on Iran 'could very well happen.' That attack, which the president was reported to have gotten Israel to forestall earlier this year, now seems to be greenlit. Trump told reporters he declined to support the Israeli plan in May as he sought a new nuclear agreement with the Iranian government. 'President Trump is committed to keeping Americans safe, both at home and abroad. In keeping with that commitment, we are constantly assessing the appropriate personnel posture at all our embassies. Based on our latest analysis, we decided to reduce the footprint of our Mission in Iraq,' an agency spokesperson told The Independent on Wednesday. The president himself added to reporters: 'They can't have a nuclear weapon. Very simple – they can't have a nuclear weapon.' On Wednesday, as reports of the planned Israeli strike began to emerge, a senator on the Armed Services committee, Tom Cotton, tweeted that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had 'confirmed that Iran's terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon'. Hegseth testified to the committee earlier in the day. 'For the sake of our national security, the security of our allies, and millions of civilians in the region this cannot be allowed to happen,' Cotton, who hails from the Republican Party's hawkish wing, added on Twitter. The strike, should it take place, would be a major impediment to the continuation of direct(ish) talks between Washington and Tehran regarding a new agreement aimed at constricting Iran's nuclear program to civilian usage only. A sixth round of talks headed by Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump's envoy to the Middle East, were set for this weekend. CBS News reported Wednesday evening that Israel was ready to carry out a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, and cited a US official as saying that the Trump administration was now looking for ways to actively support the strike. US involvement would not include direct action by B-2 bombers, restricting the attack to surface-level areas of the Iranian facilities, according to CBS's sources. An Iranian dissident group in exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), showed satellite imagery of sites it said were key to the Iranian nuclear weapons program this week at a press briefing in Washington. The NCRI's reporting, citing sources on the ground within Iran, identified the locations and purposes of several sites tied to the nuclear program in the country's mostly-desert province of Semnan which it said had been largely militarized for the purpose of concealing the project. One of the sites identified by the NCRI as the Sorkheh Hesar site supposedly hosts an underground test facility. Iran's foreign minister told reporters on Wednesday that US bases and facilities in the region would be potential targets for retaliatory strikes were Israel to carry out an attack with US assistance. Trump has long veered towards the isolationist wing of his party and is an outspoken critic of US involvement in just about every sphere of geopolitics. But on the issue of Iran, Trump has treaded a middle ground: his first term was defined by a 'maximum pressure' policy of tough sanctions and political pressure, which gave way to an openness to negotiations upon the beginning of his second presidency. Greene is one of his strongest allies in that regard, as a vitriolic opponent herself of aid to Ukraine and the NATO alliance. But even as the president has engaged the US in the first semi-direct negotiations with Tehran since the Obama administration, he has maintained longstanding US policy that Iranian development of nuclear weapons is a red line.

Iran's nuclear programme may get bombed by Israel. That would be bad for America - but not Trump's friends
Donal Trump has a problem – his affections appear to have been divided - because of Iran. Vladimir Putin, who he sees as a model leader, and Benjamin Netanyahu, who has a tough guy vibe the US President finds irresistible, are on opposite sides over Tehran's march towards nuclear weapons. The UN's International Atomic Energy Authority has just announced that Iran is in breach of its non-proliferation obligations. Iran says it has been warned by a 'friendly country' that Israel may attack its nuclear facilities. Israel fears Tehran is building a Bomb and its leaders have frequently pledged to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the earth. The Trump administration has seen this coming. The defence department has re-routed 20,000 air defence missiles destined for Ukraine to US forces in the Middle East. The US is also drawing down on embassy staff, warning Americans to get out of Iraq, and generally bracing for what may be retaliation following a unilateral Israeli attack on Iran. Of course, such an attack would need to be supported by the US – not least in terms of air refuelling and logistical support. It would probably involve the use of US bombs and certainly US manufactured aircraft. Iran has ordered its armed forces are mobilized for drills focussed on 'enemy movements'. Gulf nations like Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates will be jittery – they've signed the Abraham Accords normalizing relations with Israel and, along with Qatar, have large US naval or air force bases on their territory. Trump has long derided the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreed with Iran which dialled back its nuclear ambitions and has frequently warned Iran not to try to develop a nuclear weapon. He would be happy to see Israel take the initiative – after all he has defended Netanyahu's actions in Gaza, even putting sanctions on the International Criminal Court because is 'abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant'. But Russia is deeply involved in Iran's nuclear programme. Moscow has a long-standing programme to develop Iran civilian nuclear power industry and has already built the Bushehr I plant, is building the Bushehr II reactor and is planning on more at Sirik and Karun. Iran also supplies drones, built drone factories in Russia, helps with missile technology and is bound into Moscow's military-industrial complex at deep levels that have grown deeper with the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Iran is a key ally in Russia's war in Europe. Trump has maintained staunchly pro-Russian positions on Ukraine in demanding that any future peace deal leaves Russia in control of about a fifth of Ukraine, and out of Nato. Trump has taken Russia's side at UN refusing to condemn Moscow's invasion. He has stopped allocating military aid to Kyiv. A large-scale Israeli attack on Iran aimed at its nuclear programme would also have to focus on its wider military capabilities. Those are capabilities that Russia draws on. Trump has little real influence over Netanyahu and will not try, publicly anyway, to hold him back for fear of rejection. The Israeli Prime Minister has repeatedly shown that he's largely immune to pressure from the White House. But as Trump's agenda so far this year has been to undermine long-standing alliances and friendships with the US in favour of Israel and Russia – the threat of conflict between Israel and Iran doesn't tear at his loyalties. Israel could remove a growing nuclear threat from Iran's regime which has threatened annihilation. Russia is already benefitting from Ukraine's loss of 20,000 missiles. And if Iran counter attacks with assaults on US targets in the Middle East the US president is confident his forces could defend themselves. But pressure to further downgrade US involvement in the region will grow in Washington – and that suits Putin just fine. None of this would be good for America. But at home and abroad, that doesn't look like a priority for Trump – who consistently favours men like Putin and Netanyahu and who both may gain from chaos in the Middle East.
