The U.S. bombed Ras Issa, the Houthis’ main fuel port, accusing them of using oil profits to fund terror.

U.S. Central Command struck a Houthi fuel port in what Middle East experts are calling an escalation of U.S. strikes on the Yemen-based group.
CENTCOM announced the strikes on Ras Isa fuel port Thursday afternoon. While U.S. struck Houthi infrastructure under both the Biden and Trump administrations, it is the first time CENTCOM said it struck a fuel port. It is not clear if the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, which is in the Red Sea, or the Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group, which is in the Gulf of Oman, were involved in the strikes.
The Navy did not confirm if the strikes were carried out by assets in the region, however the USS Harry S. Truman’s X feed posted the “muscle” emoji in reference to a CENTCOM statement on the strike mission. A NAvy official this week told USNI News that almost all of the strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen have originated with the Truman CSG.
