Original Note:
This is a mischaracterisation. The threats to Red Sea shipping, to which the US led Naval Coalition is responding, have been presented by the Houthi Movement, not the internationally recognised government of Yemen. The Houthis are considered a “non-state” actor. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/who-are-yemens-houthis https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/12/19/middleeast/red-sea-crisis-explainer-houthi-yemen-israel-intl/index.html
