U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has reiterated that the U.S. is determined not to spread conflict in the Middle East. But U.S.-led strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen say otherwise.
"We're determined … that we not see escalation, [and] that we don't have the conflict spread. We've made that very clear," Blinken said on Jan. 10 while in Bahrain. "But of course – if our personnel, if our forces are threatened or attacked, we'll take appropriate steps [and] we'll respond."
The secretary of state also mentioned that the Houthi attacks have been "aided and abetted by Iran," and warned that "if these attacks continue, there will be consequences."
"[The U.S. has] repeatedly tried to make clear to Iran, as other countries have as well, that the support they they're providing the Houthis – including for these actions – needs to stop. It's not in their interest to see the conflict escalated."

Come on now! The way the military is funded makes it necessary to launch a good barrage every now and then to keep the funding going and has nothing to do with spreading the conflict. :whistle:
