"US and UK Conduct Joint Airstrikes on Houthi Targets in Yemen"

The US and UK have carried out large-scale air and missile strikes on Houthi rebel facilities in Yemen, escalating operations against the group as it continues to target ships in the Red Sea. Despite previous strikes, the militants have persisted in attacking commercial vessels, prompting the need for sustained military, economic, and diplomatic pressure to change their behavior. The Biden administration acknowledges that strikes alone may not be enough to deter the Iran-backed rebels and anticipates a prolonged effort to force the Houthis to alter their course.
