"Biden Vows to Continue Strikes Against Houthis as Red Sea Tensions Escalate"
TL;DR
US forces conducted a fifth strike against Houthi rebel military sites in Yemen, with President Biden acknowledging that the attacks on vessels in the Red Sea have not been stopped. Despite sanctions and military strikes, the Houthis continue to harass commercial and military ships, prompting the US to warn Iran to cease providing weapons to the rebels. The US and its allies have formed Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect ship traffic, with ongoing patrols by warships from the US, France, and the UK in the region.
