The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) launched major attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets, including the USS Truman and Israel’s Ramon Airport, in retaliation for the war in Gaza. This comes after Donald Trump claimed the Houthis “begged” him not to strike. The YAF's bold military move, involving drones and ballistic missiles, defies that narrative. An American F-18 crashed during the operation, intensifying the crisis. YAF has vowed further strikes if U.S. aggression resumes. Yemen warns Israel that air and maritime movements will remain under fire until the Gaza siege ends.

In a 6–3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trump’s controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The ruling allows the Pentagon to discharge troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria and reject new enlistees unless they serve in their birth Sex and forego transitioning. This reversal follows Trump’s January executive order and strikes down protections restored during Biden's tenure. The policy has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates, reigniting debates on civil rights, military readiness, and the limits of executive power under the Constitution.
