Sullivan says Yemen’s Houthis are a threat to shipping, must be dealt with

Sullivan says Yemen’s Houthi rebels are a “threat to freedom of navigation to commercial shipping,” after the Iran-backed group claimed a series of attacks.

“The United States is working with the international community, with partners from the region and from all over the world to deal with this threat,” Sullivan tells journalists at the press conference.

“While the Houthis are pulling the trigger, so to speak, they’re being handed the gun by Iran,” he adds.
