"Joint Chiefs Chairman Reveals US Strategy to Deter Iran-Backed Houthis in Red Sea"

Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated in an exclusive interview with ABC News that the recent U.S.-led strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea aim to deter future conflict and avoid escalation, emphasizing the goal of protecting U.S. forces. The strikes come in response to increased Houthi attacks, including the targeting of a British-operated oil tanker. While some lawmakers support the strikes as necessary, others have called for congressional authorization before further involvement in the region.
