Why did the US attack Yemen?

The US and UK air forces carried out dozens of strikes on various Houthi military targets on Friday night. According to the leadership of both countries, the operation is defensive in nature: it aims to put an end to Houthi attacks on peaceful merchant ships in the Red Sea. Representatives of the Ansar Allah movement began to carry out attacks in support of the Gaza Strip shortly after the Hamas’ attack on Israel and the start of the IDF military operation in the Strip, which continues to this day.
