'American intervention in Yemen today is an illegal operation': Scott Ritter

Former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, Scott Ritter discusses with Al Mayadeen the United States' approach to international law. Ritter says that the US operates by a self-serving rules-based order by declaring Yemeni actions a threat to national security and authorizing unilateral actions. He highlights the lack of legal legitimacy in these operations, drawing parallels with the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This is how he critically examines the motivations behind American and British actions in Yemen, highlighting that "the American intervention in Yemen is an illegal operation."
