Original Note:
The US is not at war with Yemen. The US strike was against Houthi rebel sites in Yemen used for drone/missile launching, in response to ship attacks in the Red Sea. Houthi rebels have been at war with the internationally recognized government of Yemen since 2014. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/01/11/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-coalition-strikes-in-houthi-controlled-areas-in-yemen/ https://www.npr.org/2024/01/10/1223906769/yemens-houthis-red-sea-attack-missiles-drones-us-navy-un-resolution https://www.britannica.com/topic/Houthi-movement
