Top US General Laments 'Failure' Of Yemen Operations As Putin Mulls Arming Houthis

"The top US commander in the Middle East warned Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that the

US’s operations against Houthi fighters in Yemen are "failing" to deter the Iran-backed group from attacking international shipping.
In a classified letter, General Michael Erik Kurilla, the head of US Central Command (Centcom), suggested the US should take a more forceful approach against the Houthis, the report said. The letter comes amid fears that Red Sea tensions could draw in Russia.
The WSJ cited an exclusive article published by Middle East Eye last month which revealed US intelligence agencies learned Russian President Vladimir Putin has mulled arming Yemen’s Houthis with anti-ship cruise missiles." ZH
