/ The United States expressed its disappointment at the leakage of information in Britain about the strikes on sites in Yemen carried out by Washington and London at dawn on Friday.
According to the Telegraph newspaper, military cooperation between Washington and London began a long time ago as a cornerstone of the special relationship between the two countries, but on Thursday evening, on the eve of the start of the operation, The Times newspaper reported that a Cabinet meeting was held to discuss the military operation.
The newspaper continued: “An informed source confirmed that the US Army expressed its disappointment regarding the actions of the British, as such operations are usually not reported until after the Army returns to its bases.”
The newspaper pointed out that over the past 20 years, it has become common in Britain to give Parliament the right to vote on military issues. The Council was bypassed in the Yemen operation.
On Friday morning, the United States and Britain began a massive attack on several Yemeni cities, targeting Houthi sites.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the strikes against the Houthis targeted radars and infrastructure for drones and missiles, noting that “this operation aims to disrupt and weaken the Houthis’ ability to expose sailors to danger and threaten international trade.”
In turn, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the strikes against the Houthis in Yemen were “limited, necessary and proportionate.”
