ALBAWABA- The United States launched four airstrikes on the Al-Katheeb area in the Mina district, along with attacks on Al-Asayed in Al-Safraa, Sa'dah, as part of its ongoing military campaign against Yemen, according to Ansar Allah-affiliated, Houthi media.

The U.S. airstrikes, which have continued since Sunday, follow President Donald Trump's announcement of a "decisive operation" against the Houthis after designating them a global terrorist organization.
Washington cited the group's military actions in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, as well as its blockade of Israeli-bound vessels in support of Gaza, as threats to maritime security and Israel, its closest ally in the region.
The recent wave of strikes has hit multiple Yemeni governorates, including Sana'a, Hodeida, Taiz, Amran, Hajja, Al-Bayda, Dhamar, Ma'rib, and Al-Jawf.
The bombings have resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, including women and children, while also causing widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure.
On Wednesday, U.S. airstrikes on a wedding hall under construction in Sana'a left seven women and two children wounded, further devastating the surrounding neighborhood.

Iran thanks Jordan for its stance after 'Israeli' attack
Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi held a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi on Thursday, during which he strongly condemned the 'Israeli' aggression against Iran, calling it a dangerous escalation and a violation of international law. According to an official readout, Safadi reiterated Jordan's firm rejection of the attack, describing it as a 'serious breach of Iran's sovereignty' and warning that such provocations risk dragging the region into a broader conflict. He also stressed the need for collective efforts to de-escalate tensions and prevent the region from sliding into 'a new regional war that threatens both regional and global peace.' The Iranian foreign minister, for his part, thanked Jordan for its 'clear and principled stance' in condemning the 'Israeli' strikes and for rejecting any further escalation that could destabilize the region. Safadi emphasized that while Jordan continues to condemn 'Israeli' aggression and advocate for calm, it will not tolerate any violation of its own sovereignty or threats to the safety of its citizens. He made it clear that Jordan 'will not be a battlefield for any party' and will respond decisively to any breach of its airspace, whether by 'Israel' or Iran. 'This is a firm and longstanding Jordanian position,' Safadi added, 'and both Israel and Iran are fully aware of it.' The Jordanian foreign minister also stressed that de-escalation can only be achieved by addressing the root causes of conflict in accordance with international law. He reiterated Jordan's position that lasting security in the region depends on upholding the sovereignty of all states and ensuring the legitimate rights of peoples, especially the Palestinian people's right to freedom, security, and an independent state on their own land.

Jordan coordinates regional response to 'Israeli' strike, urges de-escalation
Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ayman Safadi, held a series of phone calls with regional and international leaders to coordinate condemnation of the 'Israeli' assault on Iran and emphasize the urgent need to de-escalate tensions and restore calm in the region. In a call with Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Safadi discussed the implications of the 'Israeli' strikes on regional security and stability. Both ministers stressed the need for joint efforts to reduce tensions and highlighted ongoing Qatari mediation, alongside Egypt and the US, to broker a ceasefire in Gaza and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. Safadi and Sheikh Mohammed warned that Israeli Occupation's continued escalation risks igniting broader conflict. They reiterated that a two-state solution, grounded in international law, remains the only path to lasting peace and security. During a call with German Foreign Minister Dr. Johann David Wadephul, Safadi denounced the 'Israeli' attack as a blatant act of aggression and a violation of the sovereignty of a UN member state. Both ministers emphasized the need to halt further escalation and discussed developments in Gaza, including efforts to deliver humanitarian aid and achieve a ceasefire. Safadi also spoke with Hussein Al-Sheikh, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Deputy President of the State of Palestine. The two officials condemned the 'Israeli' assault and underscored the need to intensify efforts to end the aggression on both Iran and Gaza. They warned against 'Israeli' actions that undermine the two-state solution and further isolate the Palestinian people, calling on the international community to take meaningful steps to halt violations and hold Israeli Occupation accountable as an occupying power.
