Biden has ‘no good options’ in Yemen, warns US media

A new report says the United States’ recent missile strikes on Yemen is only “one of the bad options” on President Joe Biden’s table, warning that the move will increase regional tensions.

The report, published by the Foreign Policy website on Friday, said the US military strikes on the Arab country showed that Washington has a limited batch of mostly bad options to deal with the Yemeni army’s attacks, amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza.

These attacks will escalate tensions and further involve Washington and other regional powers in a wider conflict, the American news publication noted.

The report came after US and British forces carried out air, naval, and submarine attacks on Yemeni targets.

The attacks followed Yemeni forces’ strikes on several Israeli-related ships in the Red Sea in support of Palestinians in war-torn Gaza.

Biden said the attacks were a joint operation by the US and the UK, with help from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands.

The Yemeni army has vowed to carry out retaliatory operations, stressing that the US and UK attacks against the country would not go “unanswered and unpunished.”
