Fox News: AOC, Dems called out as 'hypocrites' for impeachment talk following US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites
Some Democrats, led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are calling for the impeachment of President Trump over recent airstrikes in Iran, which they deem unconstitutional and illegal. Republicans, including former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, defend the strikes as necessary for national security and criticize the impeachment push as politically motivated.
While some Democrats support the impeachment calls, others, like Sen. John Fetterman, argue that such actions would be ineffective. The likelihood of impeachment proceedings gaining traction is low, given the Republican majority in the House and the divided opinions within the Democratic Party.

Times Of Israel: Yemen’s Houthis likely to be ‘persistent problem’ for US, military official says
The Houthi group in Yemen is expected to remain a significant challenge for the US, despite a recent agreement that halted US airstrikes against them. The Houthis, who have been involved in attacks on US maritime interests, continue to target Israel and have threatened to resume attacks on US ships if the US engages militarily with Iran.
The US military's previous campaign, Operation Rough Rider, resulted in extensive strikes against the Houthis, raising concerns about civilian casualties. As tensions in the region persist, particularly regarding the Israel-Iran conflict, the Houthis' actions and threats indicate they will continue to be a focal point for US military strategy.
