Washington — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that U.S. airstrikes in Yemen on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels are targeting the group's ability to strike global shipping and attack the U.S. military, and are "doing the world a favor."

"We're doing the entire world a favor by getting rid of these guys and their ability to strike global shipping. That's the mission here, and it will continue until that's carried out," Rubio said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

This is not a message," Rubio said. "This is an effort to deny them the ability to continue to constrict and control shipping."

The secretary of state said that over the last 18 months, the Houthis have "struck or attacked 174 Naval vessels of the United States," along with 145 attacks on commercial shipping.

"So we basically have a band of pirates, you know, with guided precision anti-ship weaponry and exacting a toll system in one of the most important shipping lanes in the world," Rubio said. "That's just not sustainable."
