President Trump announced a new series of airstrikes against Houthi rebels amid heightened tensions related to Iranian influence. Following Houthi threats to attack Israeli vessels, Trump emphasized his commitment to using 'overwhelming lethal force' to neutralize the threat posed by the rebels until they cease their actions. The airstrikes, reportedly resulting in significant casualties, mark one of the most extensive assaults since the Gaza conflict reignited tensions in October 2023, reflecting escalating regional conflicts tied to Iran and its allies.
President Trump stated, 'We're not going to have these people controlling which ships can go through and which ones cannot. And so your question is, how long will this go on? It will go on until they no longer have the capability to do that.'
The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported that U.S. strikes killed at least 53 people in Yemen, including five women and two children, wounding almost 100 others.
