Rogers: Biden’s Inaction Led to Escalation

Washington, DC, January 12, 2024

U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, released a statement following U.S. led strikes against Iran-backed Houthi controlled areas of Yemen.

"Since November, the Biden administration has done little other than issue press statements as Iran-backed Houthis launched over two dozen attacks against vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, including an attack targeting a U.S. Navy vessel. Weeks of inaction sent a message of weakness to the Iran-backed Houthis and enabled further attacks. President Biden needs to get serious and hold Iran and their terrorist proxies accountable."
