The houthis shot a lot of missiles after the beginning of this war, which was Oct 7. They are in a position to use IR supplied ASCMs and drones against shipping in the Bab and Red Sea. They also attempted to shoot US naval vessels, including a CVN.

Of course not, how many times do I have to say I was not in favor of this action.
But IR was objectively killing Americans overseas, and a threat to the global (oil) economy which ultimately needed to be dealt with. The question was how, and to what degree the US needed to be involved. I was good with the first strikes against the IR nuke facilities, IL was 100% going to do that anyway and kick up the hornet's nest.
