RELEASE: Gottheimer, Intelligence Committee Member, Statement On U.S. Strikes in Yemen

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Tonight, January 11, 2024, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence member, released the following statement:

“Following unprecedented attacks, the strikes carried out by the U.S. and our allies are necessary to protect our economy, national security, and key allies like Israel.

The Iranian-backed Houthis are terrorists with the sole objective of wreaking havoc, creating violence, and causing instability.

Today’s response is a clear message that the U.S. and our allies won’t sit back while freedom is threatened.”
