Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden Vows More Houthi Strikes If ‘Outrageous Behavior’ Continues” – below is their description.

President Joe Biden said Friday the U.S. will not let up on its response to the Houthi rebels “if they continue this outrageous behavior.” Biden made the comments to reporters as he toured local businesses outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Iran-backed Houthi forces are vowing fierce retaliation after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting the militant group, further raising the prospect of a wider conflict in a region already beset by Israel’s war in Gaza.

In This Story: Iran

Iran, also called Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Western Asia. Its central location in Eurasia and proximity to the Strait of Hormuz give it significant geostrategic importance. Tehran is the capital and largest city.

Iran is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. The Iranian Revolution established the current Islamic Republic in 1979.

Iran’s political system combines elements of a presidential democracy and an Islamic theocracy. Iran is a founding member of the UN, ECO, OIC, and OPEC. It is a major regional and middle power and has large reserves of fossil fuels — including the world’s largest natural gas supply and the third largest proven oil reserves.

The country’s rich cultural legacy is reflected in part by its 22 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Historically a multi-ethnic country, Iran remains a pluralistic society comprising numerous ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups, the largest being Persians, Azeris, Kurds, Mazandaranis and Lurs.
