According to the Russian Satellite Agency on December 17, the U.S. "Banner" news agency quoted Biden as saying that the Pentagon is considering striking the military facilities of the Houthis in Yemen in response to the increasingly frequent attacks by the Houthis on passing ships in the Red Sea.
The Houthis have reportedly warned that the group intends to attack any Israeli-linked vessels and urged other countries to recover their crews and not approach them at sea. Some ship-owning companies have decided to suspend shipping through the Red Sea. The Pentagon noted that the US destroyer shot down 14 drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas in the Red Sea on the 16th.
"The Pentagon is discussing the possibility of delivering direct strikes on military installations of the Houthis in Yemen," the news agency said. ”
Biden's growing concern is reported that "the Houthis and their Tehran funders are trying to undermine the global seas."
According to the report, the sources said they were weighing the possibility of a strike and feared that such a move could lead to the start of a "broader war against Iran and its **people."
