The U.S. and British militaries were bombing more than a dozen sites used by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen on Thursday, in a massive retaliatory strike using warship-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets, several U.S. officials told The Associated Press. The military targets included logistical hubs, air defence systems and weapons storage locations, they said.

Important to note that this is a unilateral action by US and UK and that there has been no UNSC authorization for this. This is western rules based world order reading its ugly head once again.

      I’m not saying the US are the good guys but I don’t think the legal prohibition on force applies to this strike because of the antecedent conditions.
