President Joe Biden said Friday the U.S. will not let up on its response to the Houthi rebels "if they continue this outrageous behavior."
Biden made the comments to reporters as he toured local businesses outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Iran-backed Houthi forces are vowing fierce retaliation after the U.S. and Britain launched multiple airstrikes targeting the militant group, further raising the prospect of a wider conflict in a region already beset by Israel's war in Gaza.
Asked if he thought the Houthis is a terrorist organization, Biden said, "I think they are."
The president said despite the rising tensions, the United States and its allies are not in a proxy war with Iran, telling reporters he's already delivered a message to Tehran.
