“For more than nine months, the United States has been engaged in an open-ended — and congressionally unauthorized — military campaign against Yemen’s Houthi movement. Citing Israel’s war in Gaza as their primary motive, Yemen’s Houthis began attacking shipping vessels transiting the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait in November 2023.

The problem, however, is that it’s not working.” (08/30/24)
