From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point. The United States in another Middle East Civil War.

Hello again. I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point. For months, State Department officials and a few members of Congress have warned that America is at risk of violating international law.

Until today, it was all about U.S. military aid to Saudi Arabia's bombing of civilian targets in Yemen,

its tiny neighbor, already devastated by civil war. Today, an American warship fired cruise missiles

into Yemen in retaliation for shots fired from shore,

making the U.S. more directly involved than ever.

Now, Iran is sending ships to the region, international escalation, while a humanitarian

disaster unfolds on the ground.

Today's talking point. The Nobel Prize for Literature goes to Bob Dylan.

First, here's the news.

We'll hear about a humanitarian disaster and possible violations of international law.
