Yemen’s Houthi rebels have released footage showing that they boarded and intentionally set explosives aboard a Greek-flagged tanker that was abandoned after they repeatedly attacked it.

The rebels’ former arsenal of assault rifles and pickup trucks has grown into a seemingly inexhaustible supply of drones, missiles and other weaponry.

Almost 6 inches of rainfall was recorded at Dubai International Airport over 24 hours, nearly double the annual average.

Hong Kong-based HGC Global Communications acknowledged the cuts but did not say what caused the lines to be severed.

Israel intercepted what appeared to be another Houthi attack near the port city of Eilat.

The U.S. Navy intercepted some of the incoming fire.

The vessel was once known as the Suez Rajan and was involved in a yearlong dispute that ultimately saw the U.S. Justice Department seize 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil on it.

The assault on the oil and chemical tanker Strinda expands a campaign by the Iranian-backed rebels targeting ships.

The CIA revealed new details about one of its most famed operations — the rescue of six American diplomats who escaped the 1979 U.S. Embassy seizure in Tehran.

It likely will increase costs for motorists at gas stations and put new pressure on Saudi Arabia’s relationship with the United States.

It would be an unheard of action aimed at stopping Iran from seizing and harassing civilian vessels, American officials said.

Thousands of Marines backed by advanced U.S. fighter jets and warships are slowly building up a presence in the Persian Gulf.

The U.S. Air Force on May 2 released rare images of the weapon, then took them down — apparently because they revealed sensitive details about the weapon’s composition and punch.

Authorities have made legal threats and closed down some businesses serving women not wearing headscarves.

U.S. forces retaliated against groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, the Pentagon said. Activists said the U.S. bombing killed at least four people.
