- Trump threatens Iran and Houthis with "major military punishment" as the war spreads to the Red Sea, per CBS News and DW.com
- UN envoy for Yemen is "alarmed" by Houthi Red Sea attacks and calls for talks, per Al Jazeera
Why it matters: The US is openly threatening military action against both Houthis and Iran simultaneously, with the conflict now reaching the Red Sea — a critical global shipping corridor. The UN envoy's parallel call for talks shows the diplomatic track is still alive but under pressure as attacks escalate.
