Trump announces launch of US strikes on Yemen

In a statement on his platform Truth Social, the US president says the military has launched a “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis in Yemen.

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

He said Houthi rebels have been targeting US ships, aircraft, troops and allies.

“The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated,” the president also said.

“We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective,” Trump added.

His post comes moments after Houthi-linked media outlets in Yemen announced strikes carried out by the US, without giving details.

Houthis said that they will attack any Israeli ship that violates the group’s ban on Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden.

The leader of Yemen’s Houthis said that the group was resuming its naval operations against Israel as the country did not lift a blockage of aid into Gaza within a four-day deadline set by the group.

So he would rather launch strikes on Yemen than tell Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza as per the ceasefire deal.

This is how loyal the US can be to Israel.

[NarutoUzumaki-uwqd]

Between telling Israel to let Palestinians have food, water, shelters, electricity and using American tax money to bomb another country is so American

What else can we expect from America first man after receiving a golden pager from his master.

Saying Trump is anti-war is like saying Biden can run upstairs without trembling

[DDDHSEGroup]

This is a Terrorist attack...But none will dare to speak against the war criminals.

It’s ironic seeing people say “They Shouldn’t have attacked our ships”. Where was this same energy when Israel attacked the USS Liberty?

[CGF]

arab leaders need to unite like they did when Trump mentioned displacing Gaza people, we can't rely on Trump "peace-maker" for any peace in the world.

[PotatoLord]

Classic US fighting war on behalf of israel.

It’s only been a month but I’m exhausted 🥱
TRUMP NEEDS HOSPITALIZATION! 😂❤

[ElArgelinoBasado]

Can't we rest for 5 minutes in this world? I'm tired of living historical events

[gabbycarter]

As a United States citizen, I am tired of all this warmonging. No money for universal healthcare, but money to send to Isreal and the Ukraine.

[sz]

Oh look, Israel need the US to fight its battles.

[punapeter]

That's the "Peace Potus" working on his Nobel prize.

[stevenamoah]

Using american military for isreal what a joke

[maheejaman]

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?

[notperfectbutstillbeautifu]

What an amazing & wise decision..striking on one of the poorest country in the world (who choose to protect their occupied neighbour country despite their own situation). It must have been so painful for U S & lsraeI to see such a small & poor country have that much bravery & integrity..things that clearly can't be bought with money or even power.

[MySmallWorld.]

Trump wants to please his master, Natenyahu.

[JDshao]

Revolting. These "world powers" keep going after these third world struggling countries. I’m so disgusted.

[HandyMan-pt]

He tells Zelensky that he's provoking WWlll but wants to challenge Palestinian supporters while ignoring that Israel is surrounded by Arab nations.
