Original Note:
While Congress must indeed approve declarations of war, smaller-scale military operations can be approved by the President as long as Congress is notified within 48 hours of the operation commencing. Biden approved the military operation, not Blinken. https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/news/war-powers-resolution-1973#:~:text=It%20stipulates%20the%20president%20must,between%20Congress%20and%20the%20president. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/11/politics/read-biden-statement-airstrikes-houthis-yemen/index.html
