Trump Declares Intent to Annihilate Houthi Forces Amid Ongoing Strikes
U.S. President Trump escalates rhetoric against Iran-backed Houthis as military operations in Yemen intensify.
The situation in Yemen intensified this Wednesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump issued a dire warning that the Iran-backed Houthi militants would face “complete annihilation” unless Iran halted its military support for the group. This declaration came amidst a series of airstrikes that the U.S. military has been conducting against Houthi positions in Yemen since the weekend, aimed at countering attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
“Tremendous damage has been inflicted,” Trump stated in a social media post, emphasizing the escalating nature of U.S. military efforts. He remarked, “Watch how it will get progressively worse,” asserting the imbalance of power in the ongoing conflict. The U.S. Central Command reinforced this message by releasing footage of fighter jets intercepting Houthi drones, showcasing the aggressive tactics being employed.
The Houthis, who have been actively engaged in hostile operations directed at Israel and disrupting maritime traffic in solidarity with Hamas, also receive support from Iran. Their aggressive actions were revived following a lull after a truce earlier this year, which saw a temporary cease-fire with Israel that ended largely due to a blockage of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
As the U.S. continues its military campaign, the international community watches closely, aware that these actions could have profound implications for regional stability and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
