Yemen's Houthis likely to be persistent problem for US, senior military official says

WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement will likely be a persistent problem for the United States in the future, a senior U.S. military official said on Tuesday, even after the U.S. and the Houthis reached an agreement last month that ended a U.S. air campaign against the group.

"The Houthis are likely to be a persistent problem... that we'll be dealing with in the future a few times again," Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, director for operations of the Joint Staff, told lawmakers. Grynkewich has been nominated to lead the U.S. military's European Command.
