US Defense Secretary Orders Attack on Houthis from Hospital Bed
The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) issued a statement yesterday regarding the shooting of some targets belonging to the Houthis in Yemen. It was noted in the statement that the decision to conduct the attack was made by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin from “Walter Reed National Military Hospital” where he is currently being treated. The Minister of Defense is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer, and it is currently unknown when he will be discharged.
US President Joe Biden addressed the press yesterday about the lack of necessary information after Austin was hospitalized, acknowledging that the situation could be seen as an “error of judgment.” However, Biden also affirmed his trust in Austin’s leadership.
In response to the attacks in the Red Sea, Biden announced yesterday that the American and British militaries retaliated by targeting some Houthi sites in Yemen. The situation in Yemen remains tense, and the United States continues to monitor and respond to developments in the region.
