Mike Huckabee, suggested this Tuesday that the American B-2 bombers “may have to visit Yemen”, after Israel intercepted a missile launched by the Houthi rebels from Yemeni territory.

“Maybe those B-2 bombers have to visit Yemen!”, he added.
Huckabee’s mention of B-2 bombers refers to the recent “Midnight Hammer” operation, carried out by the United States between June 20 and 21, in which more than 125 aircraft, including seven B-2s with 13-ton bunker-buster bombs, attacked nuclear facilities in Iran.
