U.S. and British forces, with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, struck “a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world’s most vital waterways,” President Biden said late Thursday. A Houthi official, Hussein El-Ezzi, said Washington and London would face “dire consequences,” according to Masirah, a Houthi-run news channel.
