Rubio says Yemen strikes to continue until Houthis can no longer attack ships

March 16 (Reuters) - U.S. strikes on Yemen will continue until the Houthis no longer have the capability to attack global shipping and the U.S. Navy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the CBS News "Face the Nation" program on Sunday.

He said there was no talk of U.S. ground raids in Yemen, adding: "I don't think there's a necessity for it right now."

Rubio also said that there was "no way" the Houthis would have the ability to attack global shipping without support from Iran.
