Yemen's Houthi followers take part in a tribal parade held against the United States-led aerial attacks launched on sites in Yemen, and solidarity with Palestinians, on January 22, 2024, near Sana'a, Yemen.
The Defense Department said the strikes targeted sites associated with the Houthis' deeply buried weapons storage facilities, missile systems and launchers, air defense systems and radars.
Saturday's strikes marked the third time the U.S. and Britain had conducted a large joint operation to strike Houthi weapon launchers, radar sites and drones.
Iran has tried to distance itself from the drone strike, saying the militias act independently of its direction.
Mosawi said the targeted sites in Iraq were mainly "devoid of fighters and military personnel at the time of the attack."
