We're well past that point. This administration is clearly signalling that they are prioritizing the avoidance of an escalating regional war, and an aerial bombardment of Yemen would be an escalation against the Iran proxy. That's a legitimate policy position to be debated (I think it's the wrong position). But it seems pretty clear from both public statements and OSINT on movement of military hardware (or lack thereof) that they are unwilling to respond in a way that restores confidence in navigation in the region.
