So, we've got a situation where the United States is carrying out airstrikes on Yemen.
00:05
Just tell us what the goal is here.
00:07
Tom, I think it's clear that this administration, the Trump administration, wants to set a new
00:13
status quo, if you will, with the Houthis.
00:16
They re-designated them a terrorist organisation, and this was a substantial escalation in strikes.
00:22
Of course, the Biden administration did take military actions many times against the Houthis,
00:28
but this was very comprehensive.
00:29
It was within five different provinces within Yemen.
00:33
It included leadership targets, so not just storage facilities and logistical routes.
00:40
Those were included as well, but also they went right after the leadership.
00:43
I think it was meant to set a different standard, if you will, for reaction to the Houthis,
00:50
as well as send a message to Iran, who we believe supports them with the weapon systems
00:57
they're using to attack commercial vessels and the US military assets in the region.
