US and UK forces launch airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthis in response to Red Sea attacks

US-UK coalition strike Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen after spate of ship attacks in Red Sea
Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi militants have stepped up attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea in recent weeks
By Bradford Betz Fox News
Published January 11, 2024 6:34pm EST


The United States and Britain carried out a series of air strikes on military locations belonging to Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early Friday in response to the militant group's ongoing attacks on vessels traveling through the Red Sea.

Fox News is told there were attacks on more than a dozen Houthi targets by air, surface, and subsurface platforms.

The strikes came shortly after the White House called a lid on President Biden's engagements for the evening as he was not expected to discuss the matter publicly. It also follows news that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had not notified the president of his whereabouts while he was in the ICU at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

In anticipation of the attack, Houthi forces transported some weapons and equipment and fortified others, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a U.S. defense official. Local reports indicated Houthi militants were evacuating the Red Sea city of Hodeidah.

That is a good point. And maybe it is only hope on my part that they have had enough time to pick some good targets.  At least for for the bigger weapons..

Democrats slam Biden for bypassing Congress to strike Yemen
'The President needs to come to Congress,' Rep. Khanna said
By Elizabeth Elkind Fox News
Published January 11, 2024 8:25pm EST

Some House Democrats are frustrated with the Biden administration for striking Houthi positions in Yemen without Congressional approval on Thursday night.

"The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another middle east conflict," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., wrote on X. "That is Article I of the Constitution.

"I will stand up for that regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House," he added.

The houthis were warned for days this was coming...by the WH. So it really doesn't matter what capabilities are in play here, the WH revealed the intent giving the houthis plenty of advance warning to move.
