Trump Announces Military Action Against Houthi Militants In Yemen

[Fishrrman]

Attack the Houthi bases, yes.

BUT...
Wouldn't it be more persuasive to strike directly at the LEADERS of the Houthis?
Blow 'em up in their homes.

I read somewhere that the Houthis really like those electronic vibrators to 'arouse' themselves.

We need to get Israel's supplier of pagers and sorta change them up before we ship them in bulk to Yemen.

Houthi procreation should take quite a hit.

🚨 Breaking: Unconfirmed reports that Iran's 🇮🇷 “Zagros” spy ship—the most advanced vessel in Iran's navy—was targeted and sunk in the red sea

[jafo2010]

I fail to understand our policy regarding terrorist nations.  First and foremost, any terrorist nation simply does not have innocents.  All are enemies, and cities should be leveled.

Trump should warn all foreigners out of Yemen.  Give them a week or two to get out, and level the largest city, and either they surrender,  or the next largest city is leveled.  There is no collateral damage.  NONE!!!!

Do to Yemen what was done to Raqqa.  The USA being weak in the Middle East contributed to October 7th.

140+ missile attacks on US Navy ships is pure acts of war.  PERIOD!!!  I say level the country until they surrender, and with that surrender agree to having no weapons of any kind.

And I say sink anything flying the Iranian flag in the Red Sea.  They are not there for scientific research.  They should be considered an enemy combatant.

U.S. Forces have launched a large-scale campaign to dismantle the Houthis' ability to target ships at sea, striking dozens of targets across Yemen.

On Mar. 15, 2025, U.S. forces launched a large-scale operation against Houthi targets in Yemen, after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to use "overwhelming lethal force" to stop any threat to international shipping posed by the rebel group. At the time of writing, the U.S. military is currently conducting another wave of strikes, for the third day in a row.
 
"Today, the operation continues, and it will continue in the coming days until we achieve the President's objectives," said Joint Staff Director for Operations Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich in a media briefing.

The strikes of the first two days included both airstrikes from the F/A-18 Super Hornets embarked on the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) aircraft carrier and Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles fired from multiple U.S. Navy vessels in the region. According to the Houthis, on the first day of the campaign the U.S. conducted 47 strikes, although U.S. officials provided different numbers.

Houthis Launch Drone and Missile Barrage Toward U.S. Aircraft Carrier
 
Ending attacks on shipping vessels transiting the Red Sea remains a top priority for the White House.
The Iranian-backed Houthis continue to prove to be a headache for U.S. troops near the Red Sea. After “decisive” military action was taken against the Yemen-based terror group under the direction of U.S. president Donald Trump over the weekend, the Houthis launched retaliatory barrages targeting the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier in the northern Red Sea. The White House has pledged to continue striking the Houthis until they cease attacking Red Sea shipping, which has only elevated since Hamas’ October 7, 2023, massacre against Israel. Since roughly one-fifth of the world’s seaborne-traded crude oil flows through the critical waterways often under bombardment by the Houthis, ending attacks on shipping vessels remains a top priority for the White House. Tehran’s ability to disrupt the global economy via the actions of its Yemen-based proxy group will no longer be accepted, according to Trump’s recent warnings published on social media.

I agree, a terrorist attack is an act of war.

Hamas kept a US citizen over a year and Biden did nothing to the people who did this other than instituted a shameful waste of money in building a pier that did not work to feed the enemy.

We should have joined Israel in leveling Gaza.

One never negotiates with terrorists as it begets more hostage taking and terrorism

A good start.

The U.S. military has struck more than 30 targets in Yemen since Saturday, part of the Trump administration’s new campaign of airstrikes targeting Iran-backed Houthi rebels, a terrorist group that has halted international shipping for more than a year.

The initial salvo, which began Saturday, targeted sites used to train militants, launch drones, build weapons and command operations, including some housing Houthi leadership, said Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, the Joint Staff’s director for operations, in a Monday briefing.


U.S. Central Command continued strikes against the group Sunday and Monday, launching a campaign that may last weeks, officials said.

Hegseth Says Campaign Against Houthis Will be 'Unrelenting' Until Hostilities Cease
March 17, 2025 | By Matthew Olay, DOD News |   

During a media interview yesterday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military will continue to tactically engage Iranian-backed Houthis until they stop acting aggressively against U.S. ships in the region.

Hegseth commented on the topic following President Donald J. Trump's order for U.S. Central Command to launch multiple airstrikes against Houthis in Yemen, March 15, 2025.

"Freedom of navigation is basic; it's a core national interest," Hegseth said, adding that the current campaign is about restoring deterrents in the region in addition to freedom of navigation.

"The minute the Houthis say, 'We'll stop shooting at your ships [and] we'll stop shooting at your drones,' this campaign will end but, until then, it will be unrelenting," he continued.

Hegseth also said the airstrikes were meant to draw Iran's attention.

Iran is probably itching to try out some new weapons to see if they work or not...

Another few Houthis bite the dust. They blowed up real good.

Iran has pulled all their "Advisors" out of the Houthi controlled area of Yemen.
