A US Navy warship operating in the Middle East intercepted and intercepted multiple missiles near Yemen, CNN reported, citing two unnamed US officials.
One of the officials claimed that the missiles were fired by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
Iranian state television broadcast a report on how Israel could be attacked by Tehran's allies in the region, the so-called "resistance forces", if it does not halt its attacks on Gaza.
The report showed on a map how Israel would be simultaneously targeted with missiles and drones by Hezbollah from the north, militias in Iraq and Syria from the east, and the Houthis in Yemen from the south.
Iran has repeatedly called at the highest level for an end to Israel's attacks on Gaza.
In a speech on October 17, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the "forces of resistance" would mobilize if Israeli attacks continued.
Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian also said today that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could spread to the region.
Iran calls the Lebanese Hezbollah, the militias it supports in Syria and Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen "resistance forces".
