Boy am I proud to be an American.

My first question was why would they need them. There isn't much within range of Yemen. Saudi Arabia is within range and Yemen and the Saudis haven't always been on good terms. As far as I know, Saudi Arabia is still our ally. That's a good reason to care.
However, if the US decided later that it wasn't cool with Yemen having those SCUDs it wouldn't be much of a thing to take them out. You can't exactly hide them well in the desert.
