President Trump announced the launch of US military strikes on Yemen in a statement on his platform Truth Social. The president stated that the military has initiated a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
According to Trump, the Houthi rebels have been engaging in acts of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones. He emphasized that the Houthi attacks on American vessels will not be tolerated and that the US will use overwhelming lethal force until their objectives are achieved.
The announcement comes shortly after Houthi-linked media outlets in Yemen reported strikes carried out by the US, although specific details were not provided. The Houthis have retaliated by threatening to attack any Israeli ships that violate their ban on Israeli vessels passing through strategic maritime chokepoints.
The leader of Yemen’s Houthis declared that the group would resume its naval operations against Israel as a response to the country’s failure to lift a blockade on aid into Gaza within a specified deadline. This development has further escalated tensions in the region and added to the complexity of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The US military action in Yemen reflects the escalating tensions in the region and the increasing challenges faced by various actors involved in the conflict. The situation highlights the volatile and unpredictable nature of the regional dynamics, with the potential for further escalation of violence and instability.

May Allah bless and protect our brothers and sisters
Houthis are not Yemen. Yemen is not the Houthis. I wish people could recognise the difference. The Houthis are an Iranian funded terror organisation within Yemen.
Remember Zelensky said " You have 2 big oceans around you so you don't feel the pressure, but one day you will !" The way US terrorises the middle east, is it wrong if the middle eastern people hold grudges against the US?
A new deadly distraction.
So we can’t help Ukraine but we pick on a weaker opponent? Feels good man. I hate this
Why don't trump warn Israel to stop violating ceasefire deal that was agreed in January buut want to make war on Yemen for trying let deal go to 2nd phase Hamas must not release any hostages until deal is stick to trump is part of halting ceasefire
The question was about houthis. Why unconnected protests being shown?
We could not hear what she said.
Al jazeera propaganda
Trump needs a distraction. These ship attacks: '90% decline in container traffic between December 2024 and February 2025'.
Now the Houthis will claim they are the victims and are committing "genocide" against them.
FAFO
So much for Trump not starting any new wars
Using american military for isreal what a joke
Wrong place to do a broadcast. Too much distraction for you to be taken seriously.
US foreign policy… US foreign policy never changes
Orange man preaching peace and no wars, whilst starting WW 3
Hypocrites
FAFO. The US is tired of the bullshit and it has to stop or more of this will be coming.
NO APOLOGIES, IT IS INTENTIONALLY FILMED THIS WAY
No1 terrorist USA
This is a smoke screen to compensate for his growing unpopularity at home.
Iran must balance world equation very fast these wars will stop permanently ,
He promised to lower the price of eggs and end wars, but he's delivering quite the opposite.
israel ordering usa to waste millions.
meanwhile americans cant afford eggs.
He tells Zelensky that he's provoking WWlll but wants to challenge Palestinian supporters while ignoring that Israel is surrounded by Arab nations.
Nice job of reporting right in front of all the lemmings chanting what what they are told to chant.
So people want terrorists that are attacking U.S and other countries naval and trade ships for the last few years, to be protected and not stopped?
