Late Thursday night, the White House announced the U.S. and the U.K. launched strikes against Iran backed Houthis in Yemen.

"They are an economic threat, increasing the prices people pay for food, medicine and energy," said Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
