US Central Command blitzes Iranian-backed Houthi rebels

The US Central Command blitzed Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. Dramatic footage shows fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier on March 22. Military officials did not release specific details about the strikes. On March 19, warplanes shot down Houthi drones with laser-guided missiles. President Donald Trump cited the group's attacks on shipping in the Red Sea as the reason for the military action. Trump said: 'Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at US 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.' The US initiated what it described as a 'decisive and powerful' wave of airstrikes on Houthi targets on Saturday. The Houthi leadership reported that the number of casualties had risen to 53, including five children. CENTCOM stated that it initiated a series of operations, including precision strikes against Houthi targets across Yemen, to defend American interests, deter adversaries, and ensure freedom of navigation.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
