So a terrorist group that runs an "impoverished proto state" in northern Yemen is attacking commercial ships in international waters traveling through a vital shipping lane. This same group is dedicated to "death to American death to Israel, etc."
Why does anyone take their statements seriously? They are not helping Gazans. They are not attacking Israel. They are engaging in terrorist attacks on commercial vessels.
Using our military to stop them is not "expanding the conflict." It is stopping terrorists from killing innocent sailors and from disrupting the world economy.
Please do not allow the terrorists, or their Iranian backers to frame the discussion around this very simple issue.

I agree with your point but just to be clear: they are attacking Israel regularly with drones and missiles. Yemen is a failed state that can’t provide the most basic services yet they invest in building this military infrastructure which they use without any provocation.
