U.S. and UK military forces carried out air strikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen on Thursday, with support from Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Bahrain.
President Joe Biden said he ordered the strikes in response to a series of unprecedented and escalating attacks by Houthi rebels on U.S. and international maritime vessels in the Red Sea, one of the world’s most crucial waterways for commercial shipping.
