it's also been a priority for the administration not to disturb the current truce in the yemen civil war. this action we're now reporting out of the pentagon clearly signals that the situation in the red sea had become a completely intolerable for the u.s. and its allies. and we did see a bit of a turning point last week when a u.s. official said following the weeks and weeks of provocations and the attacks from the houthis in the red sea on these shipping vessels, that they were essentially giving the last warning, that there would not be another warning. and so given that we've seen these attacks and provocations continue in some ways we were very much preparing for a different kind of response from the u.s. and its allies. again, we haven't gotten an official word from the white house. but, wolf as orenwas saying given the significance of this kind of action by the u.s. in yemen we should expect to hear from the president in some way tonight. wolf? >> a very significant development indeed. colonelilaten, you're our military analyst.
