UK to send military jets to Middle East as Houthi rebel attacks intensify

The UK will send fighter jets to the Middle East as fighting intensifies with the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Meanwhile, as Caroline Elliott reports, Iran is giving a new warning to the US during their ongoing stalemate. With the scope of the fight expanding across the Middle East, the UK now says it will deploy fighter jets to Saudi Arabia to bolster the firepower of Saudi-backed rebels in northern Yemen. The United Kingdom is the kind of country that when our allies call for help we respond britain's defense secretary says their fighters will only conduct defensive air patrols taking out houthi drones or missiles but not targets on the ground the assistance comes as the houthis have begun launching attacks on civilian targets in yemen and saudi arabia including major saudi airports the u.s says it's staying out of the conflict i think the president's been clear that he supports saudi arabia and the backing that they need logistically, he will supply. But America getting involved in a ground kinetic battle somewhere else seems fruitless. Meanwhile, the White House is dealing with a new threat from Iran, who says if the US decides to target any of its underground nuclear facilities, it will respond with a massive strike of its own. We never leave any attack unanswered. If our response is not stronger, then it will certainly be equal in force. The US previously bombed one of Iran's enrichment facilities last year during Operation Midnight Hammer, until officials believe Iran may have since moved its centrifuges deep underground beyond the reach of U.S. bombs. In New York, Caroline Elliott, Fox News. Protests against rising living costs in France turned violent over the weekend, but last night was a quiet night in Paris after police enforced a curfew. According to economic analysts, France is facing more than $1 billion in losses after stores were damaged, cars were set on fire, and hundreds of officers were hurt. We have a mess. To put it bluntly, we are dealing with a very specific type of general crime, a very precise and specific form of general crime involving looting. Governments across Europe and Asia are advising people against traveling to France, warning of a decline in security. Thank you.
