"We think we had a good effect, we’ll see what happens. The Houthis have a choice to make here now, and the right choice is to stop these reckless attacks," Kirby said in an interview with the CBS News. He also said that Houthi attacks on sea transport "have nothing to do with Israel," as an alleged Panamanian-flagged ship with Russian oil on board was attacked by the rebels on Saturday.
