The U.S. military should carry out additional strikes and conduct more interdictions in the Middle Eastern waterways targeting the Houthis’ capabilities, according to former head of U.S. Central Command retired Gen. Frank McKenzie.

U.S. forces have carried out multiple strikes against the Houthis this month targeting their capabilities, but the Iranian-backed, Yemen-based Houthi rebels remain undeterred in their desire to continue attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
