the united states and britain have the gun carrying out military strikes against august in yemen. the dog, it's a link to the is on back to teacher of those who control much of the country explosions happened. reporters and the captains are now and as with the who these have been attacking shipping in the red sea for weeks. now they see the support and the protestant and militant to come off by targeting ships linked to a strategy that's get them over the job is chanel. dom allowance has been following the story from a for us from washington, dc. jeanette, what, what do we know about the strikes as well? the white house has now confirmed these strikes. so there is now an official statement from the white house saying that the us and the u. k. authorize the strikes along with other countries mentioned in the statements. so australia, bahrain, netherlands, canada, along with them. we know that top a dozen targets were,

were the target of the strikes. and that these targets included inventories of weapons. weapons that the, who these had been using to launch their attacks in the red sea. so the emerging objective of these air strikes from the us and the part and its partners appears to be just to be able to send a message to the who to you saying that the us and its partners can and will a uh, act to meet cap who tease capabilities to launch these attacks attacks which have not only crippled international shipping, but also raise the specter of a wider war in the middle east. now, in the statement that the white house released president joe biden also said that the us will not tolerate a tax on personnel or allow hostile act actors to imperil freedom of never navigation. and that biden will not hesitate to act and direct more protective measures to this end. so that clearly means that this could be the beginning of

what could be a drawn out process, even as biden is already starting to garner criticism from various corners for acting without congress on this. and again, a med fears of the us being dragged into a large or middle eastern bar, something, of course, which the us has some experience of. so clearly a warning to the who t's but these attacks have been going on for weeks. now. why is this coordinated international response coming at this point? yes, one really does have the sense that the other issue has dropped here. as you said, these tensions have been simmering for weeks. and the u. s. has been unequivocal in saying that it does not. in fact, want to see a spread of the conflict. l squared beyond is rolling guys up. and in fact of preventing that spread was one of the key objectives of secretary of state anthony's antennae blinking is most recent visit close to the middle east. but

clearly the us along with a u. k, has decided that it has been pushed into a position where they deemed that a response was necessary that their hand was perhaps for us. on tuesday we saw the largest ever barrage of who 2 missiles and drones up against vessels in the red sea . and that is widely considered to have been the last straw that's according to us military officials. and that could be the main reason why we're seeing the error strikes that we have seen today. he appears to know them alone in washington dc. thank you so much for your reporting now. so i was asked and prosecutors on thursday began making the case to be un stop court. that is true. it is committing genocide and guides that they argue, that is drugs, military response to the october 7th. federal attacks have been and continue to be an attempt to destroy the policy. and in people is read, has dismissed the allegations as best list and were present as defense on friday.
