Dropping bombs is an act of war, so yes. I guess the de jure, internationally recognized state of Yemen approves of the bombings, but the de facto state run by the Houthis is at war with the US.
Of course, the Houthis have committed acts of war first by violating the rights of the sea, so take that as you will.
Iran is a whole ass country, the Houthis are a rebel faction, for lack of a better term. I think this whole situation is kinda different… Matter of opinion I guess…
Houthis are the de facto government of Yemen which is important because the US is claiming the right to self defence which is only available between states.under international law. That’s why for example Israel’s argument of self defence is nonsense because Gaza is not a separate country.
They’re a rebel faction that controls most of the country, including the capital. It’s different, but they’re a lot closer to a government than something like Hezbollah.

Implying Biden “took us into war” in Yemen? Because we’ve been bombing them for decades.
Have they gone to war?

How many countries recognize the authority of the Houthis in Yemen?

The Houthis are only considered a rebel faction because the US said so. I don’t exactly like them but they’re basically the government of Yemen.
And? Trump assassinated a senior government official with zero authorization or provocation. This is clearly not the same thing.
But don’t you get it?!
Biden’s last name isnt trump, and he has a D by his name. Obviously expecting any other diffences mean you hate America…

The Democrats (except for Biden) aren’t being hypocritical here. They objected to both Trump and Biden.
