Trump's warning to Iran: US strikes Houthi targets in Yemen

It has been reported that US air and naval forces have struck targets belonging to the Houthis. 

According to a report by The New York Times citing US officials and Yemeni media, more than 10 strikes were carried out against the Houthis, with the order coming from US President Donald Trump.

The attacks targeted radar and air defense systems, as well as missile systems. US warplanes also conducted airstrikes on Sana'a, the capital of Yemen.

Following the American attacks, the Yemeni Ministry of Health issued a statement announcing that 9 civilians had lost their lives and 9 others were injured in the strikes.

In a statement, the Houthis, who were attacked by the US, said: 'The attacks on Sana'a will not go unanswered.'

Reuters reported that the attacks initiated by the US are expected to last for days.

Hamas issued a message condemning the attacks carried out by America and the UK against the Houthis. Hamas condemned the attacks on Yemen.

Sending a message to Iran through the attacks on the Houthis, US President Donald Trump used the following expressions in a statement on his Truth Social account:

•Today, I ordered the United States Military to initiate decisive and strong military action against Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

•(To all Houthi terrorists) Your time is up, and your attacks must stop as of today. If they do not, hell will rain down upon you like never before.

WE WILL NOT BE KIND

•(To Iran) The support given to Houthi terrorists must end immediately! Do not threaten the American people or their president. If you do, be careful, because America will hold you fully responsible, and we will not be kind about it!

•The Houthis are conducting a brutal campaign of piracy, violence, and terror against American and other nations' ships, aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

•Joe Biden's response was pathetically weak, which is why the unchecked Houthis continued their attacks.

•It has been more than a year since an American-flagged commercial vessel has passed safely through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden.

AMERICAN WARSHIP ATTACKED TOO MANY TIMES

•Four months ago, the last American warship passing through the Red Sea was attacked more than a dozen times by the Houthis.

•Houthi bandits, funded by Iran, fired missiles at American aircraft and targeted our soldiers and allies. These relentless attacks have cost the US and the global economy billions of dollars while putting innocent lives at risk. Houthi attacks on American ships will not be tolerated.

HOUTHIS PARALYZED GLOBAL TRADE

•We will use overwhelming and lethal force until we achieve our goal. The Houthis have paralyzed global trade by closing one of the world's most important waterways and have attacked Freedom of Navigation, the backbone of international commerce.

•Right now, our brave warriors are conducting airstrikes on the terrorists' bases, leaders, and missile defense systems to protect American shipping, air and sea assets, and to restore Freedom of Navigation. No terrorist force will be able to prevent American commercial and warships from sailing freely on the world's seas.

CALL TO IRAN

Addressing Iran, Trump stated, "Support for the Houthis must end immediately. Do not threaten the American people, their president who has been granted one of the greatest authorities in presidential history, or shipping lanes around the world. If you do, be careful, because the US will hold you fully accountable and we will not be kind about it."
