Maybe? The US tossed Tomahawks at the Houthis in 2016 or so as well.
This may get them to flinch.

The Houthis are really just paying for the price for the Iranian ship seizure - this is more about reminding the Iranians we have a much bigger stick, while not directly attacking Iran yet...

And per the CBC article, will make both the Houthis and Iran think twice about disregarding a warning from Canada!

Yeah, that’s my worry- a Houthi ‘alpha strike’ throwing as much as they can at once to try to overwhelm defenses.

Great that our key Allies asked us for help, because I am sure we had a spare Capt planner to offer, seeing as we are saving cruise missiles for a rainy day....I suppose we could have offered UAS to assist with the ISR soak as well....which we are also saving for a rainy day.
Apparently that rainy day is in 2035...and we just might have both of those capabilities by then, or at least will have announced that we will.

The Harpoon is considered an Anti-Ship Cruise Missile and the Block 2 version (which we have) is capable of land-attack which makes it also a Land-Attack Cruise Missile.

Yes, it's on the lower-end of range and warhead size but it would be useful for taking out Abdullah ISIS hiding in his grape hut if necessary.

Agreed. It is pretty short-ranged, but for a targeting and effects perspective, it will do the job.

I listened to a CBC report today and they said "20 Canadian personnel" were involved in the strike. Not sure they are all in-theater or back in Ottawa.
