President Trump has claimed military success against Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, declaring they have been decimated by strikes he ordered. However, reports from Pentagon officials paint a different picture, revealing that the U.S. has only achieved limited success in crippling the Houthis' extensive underground missile capabilities. Despite escalating military operations, including substantial expenditures on munitions and deploying advanced defense systems, resilient Houthi fighters have fortified their positions, hindering U.S. efforts to prevent missile attacks, particularly in the Red Sea region. The disparity between public statements and internal assessments highlights ongoing operational challenges.
"Despite President Trump's assertions that the Iranian-backed Houthi militants have been decimated, Pentagon officials privately convey limited success in dismantling their sophisticated underground arsenal."
"The assessment of the Houthi militants' resilience reveals that they have successfully reinforced bunker systems, which complicates American efforts to cease their missile operations against targets in the Red Sea."
