U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a pointed message to Yemen’s Houthi rebels and their Iranian supporters on Monday, warning that U.S. military operations would not let up until hostile actions against American naval vessels come to a halt. “The Iran-backed Houthi Terrorists have been decimated by the relentless strikes over the past two weeks,” Trump wrote on social media. “Many of their Fighters and Leaders are no longer with us.”
He emphasized the ongoing nature of the campaign, stating, “We hit them every day and night — Harder and harder.” Trump explained that these operations are aimed at dismantling the Houthis’ ability to endanger regional maritime routes, noting their offensive capabilities “are rapidly being destroyed.”
Looking ahead, the president made the U.S. stance clear: “longer a threat. Our attacks will continue until they are no to Freedom of Navigation.” He issued a direct ultimatum to the Houthis: “The choice for the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at U.S. ships, and we will stop shooting at you.” Otherwise, he continued, “we have only just begun, and the real pain is yet to come, for both the Houthis and their sponsors in Iran.” (Read More)
