U.S. Amplifies Strikes on Yemen's Houthis
(Washington Post) Missy Ryan - Video provided by CENTCOM showed aircraft taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman, an aircraft carrier positioned in the Red Sea, before they struck targets in Yemen. While a year of U.S., British and Israeli strikes has weakened the Houthis' military capability, it has had little impact on their determination. The regional standing of the Houthis has risen as they portray themselves as leaders of an international resistance movement against Israel, America and the West. Biden administration officials say the effort to contain the Houthis' rogue military drive must continue. One U.S. official said that additional military and diplomatic action may be needed from countries within and outside the Middle East: "We're all going to need to do more."
