A military coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) launched an offensive Wednesday on a key port in Yemen held by rebels, despite international warnings such an assault could be catastrophic.

In the United States, which has supported the coalition, lawmakers in both parties issued stern warnings ahead of the offensive on Hodeida.
A bipartisan quartet of senators, including Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn) and ranking member Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), sent a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the eve of the offensive expressing “grave alarm.”
“We are concerned that pending military operations by the United Arab Emirates and its Yemeni partners will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis by interrupting delivery of humanitarian aid and damaging critical infrastructure,” the senators wrote. “We are also deeply concerned that these operations jeopardize prospects for a near-term political resolution to the conflict.”
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers also sent a letter they had been circulating earlier in the week that asked Mattis to “use all available means to avert a catastrophic military assault.” The letter garnered 34 signatures, according to the copy publicly released Wednesday.
The Trump administration tried to dissuade the coalition from launching the offensive, with Pompeo saying in a statement Monday that he “made clear our desire to address their security concerns while preserving the free flow of humanitarian aid and life-saving commercial imports.”
Having failed to stop the UAE from acting, the U.S. military has helped Gulf allies develop a list of targets that should be off-limits, according to several reports citing unnamed U.S. officials.
