Original Note:
Strikes in Yemen are against civilian shipping with no connection to Israel and are against the Houthis, not against Yemen. Strikes in Iraq and Syria are retaliatory strikes against Iran-backed militias conducted to prevent an escalation of conflict into a regional war. https://apnews.com/biden-orders-strike-on-iranian-aligned-group-after-3-us-troops-injured-in-drone-attack-in-iraq-0000018ca42cda5ba79ee5bc274e0000 https://www.voanews.com/a/us-forces-attacked-151-times-in-iraq-syria-during-biden-presidency-/7360366.html https://www.reuters.com/world/us-britain-carry-out-strikes-against-houthis-yemen-officials-2024-01-11/
