U.S. officials say the U.S. and British militaries bombed more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis. The military targets included logistical hubs, air defense systems and weapons storage and launching locations. President Joe Biden says the strikes were meant to demonstrate that the U.S. and its allies “will not tolerate” the militant group’s ceaseless attacks on the Red Sea. And he said the U.S. and its allies only made the move after attempts at diplomatic negotiations and careful deliberation. The strikes on the Houthi targets marked the first U.S. military response to what has been a persistent campaign of drone and missile attacks on commercial ships since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
