James Clapper on U.S. Strikes in Yemen: The Objective Here Is to ‘Change the Behavior of the Houthis’

RUSH EXCERPT:

CLAPPER: "The National Security Council specifically is assessing the impacts of this first round of strikes. And, you know, the objective here, obviously, is to restore deterrence. That is to change the behavior of the Houthis, so they stop their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Now, I doubt that this one round is going to do that, and they’re probably going to have to do some more of this, you know. And I don’t know what the threshold of pain is for the Houthis to stop."
