STATEMENT: Gallego on the U.S.-Led Strikes Against Houthi Rebels in Yemen

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ-03), ranking member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, released the following statement in reaction to the strikes initiated by the United States and the United Kingdom against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

“The decision to strike the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen is necessary to maintain stability and security in the Gulf. The U.S. has dealt with this aggression for far too long, and it is in our nation’s interests to maintain the free flow of commerce. Terrorism has no safe harbor anywhere.”
