Will Annihilate Houthis: Trump
Trump added, “Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly. Tremendous damage has been inflicted upon the Houthi barbarians, and watch how it will get progressively worse — It’s not even a fair fight, and never will be. They will be completely annihilated!”
The US Strikes On Houthi Rebels
The US has launched strikes on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen in response to their repeated attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes. The Houthis have been targeting commercial and military vessels, disrupting global trade and posing a security threat. The strikes aim to weaken the group's military capabilities and deter further aggression.The US and its allies view the Houthi attacks as a challenge to international stability and a broader proxy conflict involving Iran. President Trump has justified the strikes as necessary to protect American interests, regional allies, and the free flow of global maritime trade.
