WASHINGTON — An unfolding US military campaign of strikes against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis could last days and maybe weeks, a US official tells Reuters, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

US President Donald Trump announced the start of the operation earlier on Saturday, warning the Houthi attacks against Red Sea shipping needed to stop, or “Hell will rain down upon you.”
