set up operation prosperity guarding more than 20 other countries to defend those shipping lanes. that was purely a defensive operation. when those attacks continued, and certainly after tuesday when we saw the largest such a barrage launched from the houthis, the u.s. stepped in, prepared its plans, and finalized those plans, then acted carrying out a series of strikes intended to degrade the ability of the houthis on iranian-backed proxy in yemen to target international shipping here. the u.s. will try to contain this so it doesn't escalate too much, but fully aware of the risk of escalation here, knowing the houthis that promise to respond to any american action. it is worth noting, even the defense secretary lloyd austin in the hospital, following complications over a surgery for prostate cancer, he tracked this very closely, was intimately involved in the planning over the course of the past 72 hours, holding two calls with presidential, and multiple daily calls with the nsc, the chairman of the joint chiefs, and the commander of u.s. central command. earlier on -- execute tho

inflation, economic shocks and disruptions, we cannot allow this to happen, this is why operation prosperity guarde attack on yemen, us secretary of defense lloyd austen incognito went to his hospital bed. by the way, no one informed the white house about the minister’s absence from work, and that’s it. all on the eve of a military operation on the other side of the world, where the department and its leader play a key role: a coincidence or a reluctance to sully the track record, history is silent, but there is no doubt about the other question, everything is on the surface, caressed by subsidies and investments, an ally, a country on which perhaps the key bet is being made in the confrontation with china, also refused to dive into the deep end. australia did not even send a fishing boat for participation and only sent several officers on foot along the ship. no, we will not send a ship or plane. however, we will nearly triple our contribution to the joint maritime force. right now we have five employees working at the joint maritime forces headquarters, over the next month this number will incre

absolutely nothing in this war, otherwise they would not have renamed their wonderful operation, which was called guards prosperitys, especially in islam... organized official potential long-term approach to operations in yemen, they struck a blow against the houthis, about which there was already a joint statement by australia, bahrain, great britain, canada, the netherlands and the united states. let's listen. us and british forces, backed by australia, bahrain, canada and the netherlands, carried out strikes on eight houthi targets in yemen in response to their ongoing attacks on merchant ships as well as warships passing through. through the red sea. today's attack hit an underground storage facility, as well as locations associated with houthi missile and air surveillance assets. our goal remains to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the red sea, but we will not hesitate to protect lives and the free flow of trade on one of the world's most important waterways in the face of ongoing threats. well, it must be said that the houthis have already responded with a strike on the american ship. with which

if this is operational prosperity, we are not guarding it. geoff: same question, what is your assessment of the u.s. strikes in yemen and iraq? ali: i agree they are not working, but because we are addressing the symptoms and not the proximate cause, which is the war in gaza. the reality is the houthis have been engaged in a war with the saudi led coalition for years and have been targeted with the same u.s. weapons we are now using against them for multiple years and they have never been deterred. they are capable, determined zealots and have little to lose. they have been gaining in popularity at home as a result of this. we have had the same experience in iraq for many years. using the military tool is not the solution here. it is an option but not the solution. geoff: are the houthis undeterminable and is a military solution not the solution? michael: they are deterable and they are being aided by the iranians, who are deterable. an underreported fact is the houthis for the first time in the world used an anti-ship ballistic missile. the
