Ammon News - The Israeli military said early on Saturday it had identified a launch of a missile from Yemen, the first time a missile has launched from Yemen since the war erupted.

The launch comes hours after Houthis said on Friday they were prepared to act if what the group called an escalation against Iran and the “axis of resistance” continued but did not say what form any intervention would take.

Israel’s military said it launched strikes on Iranian “regime targets” early Saturday, according to AFP.

A brief military statement said Israeli forces were “currently striking Iranian terror regime targets across Tehran,” without elaborating.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump said that negotiations with Iran were ongoing and said the Iranian regime needed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“We’re achieving each and every one of the military objectives I laid out less than four weeks ago,” Trump said during a speech at the FII Summit in Miami, Florida.

Trump said Iran was being “decimated” as talks continue, adding that Tehran wants a deal.

He said 3,554 targets remained in Iran.
