Trump Announces Military Action Against Houthi Militants In Yemen

Trending Politics News
By Cullen McCue
March 15, 2025

President Trump on Saturday announced that he had authorized military strikes against Houthi militants in Yemen. The Iran-backed group has significantly hampered shipping in the Red Sea and has launched attacks on U.S. and allied vessels since the War in Gaza erupted in October 2023.

“Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” Trump announced in a Truth Social post.

He went on to describe former President Biden’s handling of the crisis “pathetic” and vowed tougher action. Biden previously authorized limited strikes against Houthi targets in response to attacks on American shipping, though the strikes did not degrade the militant group’s capabilities.

“Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk,” Trump continued.

Decisive and powerful action.  Thank you President Trump.  Hopefully this is a rude awakening and a wake up call for Houthi militants.

The Houthis will provoke war with the world's largest superpower while 2/3 of Yemen is starving to death.

Want to solve the problem? Go to the source.

Note here, that the Houthis wouldn't be able to carry out their long-range, out-of-sight attacks on shipping without accurate targeting information for their missiles and drones.

And Iran isn't supplying that info, it doesn't have the satellite technology.

Russia, Pres. Trump's newest friend, is the one supplying the targeting info.

Trump announces 'decisive and powerful' airstrikes against Houthi terrorists in Yemen
Trump blamed former President Biden's 'pathetically weak' response to Houthis
 By Andrea Margolis Fox News
Published March 15, 2025 2:44pm EDT | Updated March 15, 2025 3:51pm EDT

President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to a fiery Truth Social post published on Saturday.

In the post, Trump wrote that he had "ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen."

"They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones," Trump wrote.

Trump also criticized his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, writing that the Democratic president's response to the terrorist group "was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going."

"It has been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden," Trump continued. "The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times….These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk."

"To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!" HIS POST CONCLUDED.

From what I've seen the drone attacks have been coming from motherships that close to within five miles of their targets.

Putin kills opposition politicians and Russian citizens who criticize the war, attacks and invades innocent countries, is pals with Hamas and Hezbollah, yet all I seem to hear from Pres. Trump is a lot of praise.

Where does he ever criticize Russia or Putin?

Did not say "best" friend, you put that in.

My point is, Russia may be pretending to be a friend of Pres. Trump, but it's all a scam.

Putin is playing the US, trying to show that he is in charge, not Pres. Trump ... thus the endless Russian delays and demands, all to make Pres. Trump jump thru more hoops ...

 Houthis vow to retaliate after US airstrikes on Yemen
by Lauren Irwin - 03/16/25 7:57 AM ET

The Houthis are vowing retaliation after the U.S. launched a series of airstrikes on Yemen.

President Trump ordered a series of airstrikes on the Houthis, a militant group backed by Iran, on Saturday. The president said the U.S. would use an “overwhelming lethal force” to take out the group.

Nasr el-Din Amer, a spokesperson for the Houthis, told NBC News that the majority of the casualties from the airstrikes were women and children.

The group plans to retaliate and said they would not stop until the “blockade on Gaza” is lifted.

“We will respond to the recent escalation with further escalation,” he said.

🚨I am going to be extremely blunt and rude for a minute.

This is a message to the West, including the US.

Next time, when Saudi Arabia and the UAE tell you that a group of disgusting Islamist militants in the Middle East are terrorists and that they are bad news and should be destroyed, shut the hell up and listen.

We wouldn't have been here today, with UN workers kidnapped in Yemen, millions of Yemenis starving, Egypt losing billions and global maritime crippled, if the Biden, and before it Obama, administration didn't get in the way of destroying the Houthis.

The Democrats (or as I now call them, Degenerates) saved the Houthis. They have blood on their hands.

Your weakness is lethal.
