Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that U.S. air strikes in Yemen on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels are targeting the group's ability to strike global shipping and attack the U.S. military, and are "doing the world a favor." "We're doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping. That's the mission here, and it will continue until that's carried out," Rubio said. President Trump announced the strikes Saturday, saying the U.S. would use "overwhelming lethal force" until the Houthis cease shipping attacks. #yemen #trump #iran #politics #news #worldnews
