The United States Department of Defense (the Pentagon) has said that it is not involved in the military offensive carried out by the Saudi-Emirati alliance against the Iranian-aligned Houthi militia in the Yemeni port city of Hudaida.
Speaking on Thursday, spokesman Major Adrian Galloway said Washington "does not command, accompany, or participate in counter-Houthi operations or any hostilities other than those authorised against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and ISIS," referring to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS).
