Trump orders military action against Houthis in Yemen

US President Donald Trump has ordered the country's military to launch military operations in Yemen against the Houthis, the president wrote on his social media page.

"Today, I have directed the United States military to launch decisive and powerful military operations against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They are waging a relentless campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones," he wrote on Truth Social.

According to him, I will strike Houthi bases to protect American shipping, aviation, and naval forces.

"We will use overwhelming lethal force until we achieve our goal. Joe Biden's response was pathetically weak, so the unruly Houthis simply continued on their way.

Iranian-backed Houthi thugs have fired missiles at American aircraft and targeted our troops and allies. These relentless attacks have cost the US and global economies billions of dollars while putting innocent lives at risk," he wrote.
