The United States Launches an Additional Barrage of Missiles at Houthi Strongholds

By Ryan Delarme, January 18, 2024

Wednesday, additional waves of ship and submarine-launched missile strikes against Houthi-controlled areas were carried out by the U.S. military, according to U.S. Central Command. This marks the fourth consecutive day that the United States has directly targeted the group in Yemen, as the violence that erupted following the Israel-Hamas war continues to spread throughout the Middle East.

From the Red Sea, the strikes intercepted fourteen missiles regarded by the command to be a “imminent threat.”

Concerns regarding further escalation are falling on deaf ears.

The assaults occurred subsequent to a formal declaration made by the United States on Wednesday, which re-designated the Houthis as a globally designated terrorist organization. The formal designation entails sanctions intended to cut off the financial ties that bind violent extremist organizations.

“Forces conducted strikes on 14 Iran-backed Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen,” Central Command said in a statement posted on X late Wednesday. “These missiles on launch rails presented an imminent threat to merchant vessels and U.S. Navy ships in the region and could have been fired at any time, prompting U.S. forces to exercise their inherent right and obligation to defend themselves.”

Notwithstanding the imposition of sanctions and military engagements—including a substantial operation executed on Friday by warships and aircraft of the United States and the United Kingdom that targeted over sixty locations throughout Yemen—the Houthis persist in their campaign of harassing commercial and military vessels.

On Wednesday, a one-way attack drone launched from a Houthi-controlled area in Yemen collided with the M/V Genco Picardy, which is owned and operated by the United States and flagged for the Marshall Islands, in the Gulf of Aden.

Additionally, the United States has issued a dire warning to Iran to cut off its arms supply to the Houthis. A U.S. operation on a dhow on Thursday seized components of ballistic missiles that the United States claimed Iran was transporting to Yemen.

All very convenient for the Military Industrial Complex, who analysts believe has long hungered for a full scale war with Iran.

Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, a spokesman for the Pentagon, stated on Wednesday that the United States would continue to employ military force to avert additional attacks.

“They are exploiting this situation to conduct attacks against the ships and vessels from more than 50 countries … around the world. And so we’re going to continue to work with our partners in the region to prevent those attacks or deter those attacks in the future,” Ryder said.

Multiple incidents have transpired since the joint operations on Friday. The Houthis fired an anti-ship cruise missile toward a U.S. Navy destroyer over the weekend, but was shot down.

Tuesday, in response, the U.S. struck four anti-ship ballistic missiles that were ostensibly prepared to launch and presented an imminent threat to merchant and U.S. Navy ships in the region.
