In Brief…

• Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have taken control of the Red Sea port city of Mocha, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing three Yemeni government sources.
• Top White House advisers have privately warned President Donald Trump that the Iran war could last through the end of his term, potentially beyond January 2029, the Wall Street Journal reported.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US would keep targeting Iranian oil tankers when Tehran attacks US warships and would continue to “strangle” Iran economically.
• Multiple US military aircraft were damaged in overnight strikes on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, with one A-10 left missing a wing and about eight F-15s sustaining light damage, CBS reported. The IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency reported Tuesday that Iranian missiles had struck US targets in Jordan earlier Wednesday local time.
