The U.S. military has been conducting daily strikes against Houthi militia targets in Yemen, but has provided few details about the attacks. The strikes are part of a new offensive against the Houthis and a message to Iran as the Trump administration seeks a nuclear deal. The military's Central Command has refused to disclose the number of targets struck or the Houthi commanders killed. The strikes are intended to pressure the Houthis, who have disrupted international shipping lanes in the Red Sea for over a year. The Biden administration's previous efforts to deter Houthi attacks largely failed.
