YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe U.S. Navy on Friday warned American-flagged vessels to stay out of areas around Yemen in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden for the next 72 hours after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting Houthi rebels.
The warning in a notice to shippers came as Yemen’s Houthis vowed fierce retaliation for the U.S.-led strikes, further raising the prospect of a wider conflict in a region already beset by Israel's war in Gaza.
The White House said the U.S. expects the Houthis to try to strike back.
"Nobody was pollyannish about the possibility that they might conduct some sort of retaliation," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. He added, “This wasn’t some signaling exercise. This was designed to disrupt and degrade Houthi military capabilities.”
Traveling with President Joe Biden to Pennsylvania, Kirby told reporters damage assessments were not yet complete.
