🇺🇸❌🇾🇪 — 📰 Bloomberg: US Weighs Whether to Attack Houthi Rebels in Yemen

➡️ The US and its allies are considering possible military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, in a recognition that a newly announced maritime task force meant to protect commercial ships in the Red Sea may not be enough to eliminate the threat to the vital waterway.

➡️ Planning is underway for actions intended to cripple the Houthis’ ability to target commercial ships by hitting the militant group at the source, according to four people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified discussing internal deliberations. They underscored that the US still wants diplomacy to work and hasn’t decided to go ahead.

➡️ Even so, one of the people said the Pentagon is preparing to offer President Joe Biden the possibility of what was described as a “heavy” response to the Iran-backed militants. Asked Tuesday about possible military action, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said he wouldn’t “telegraph any punches one way or the other.”
