US President Trump Vows to Continue Military Strikes Against Yemen Houthis
US President Donald Trump has vowed to persist with military strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels until they no longer pose a threat to shipping. Trump issued a strong warning to the Houthis and their Iranian backers, emphasizing that more action is yet to come.
US President Trump's Warning to Yemen Houthis
US President Donald Trump has vowed to continue military strikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels, declaring that the attacks will not stop until the threat to shipping is eliminated. Trump's stance was made clear in a statement on social media, where he emphasized that the military action will only cease if the hostilities from the Houthis cease. He warned of 'real pain' if attacks on US and allied vessels continue.
Escalating Tensions and Airstrikes
The US and its allies have launched repeated airstrikes on Houthi targets in response to attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthis, who control parts of Yemen, claim their actions are in support of Palestinians in Gaza. The ongoing airstrikes have significantly weakened the Houthi terrorists, according to President Trump.
Scandal and Controversy
Trump's remarks come amid a scandal involving leaked discussions among senior US officials about the Yemen strikes. The controversy, dubbed 'Signalgate,' erupted after it was revealed that top officials discussed airstrike timings and intelligence on the Signal app, raising concerns over operational security.
Iran and Nuclear Negotiations
Beyond the conflict in Yemen, Trump has intensified his warnings to Iran as nuclear negotiations continue. He has threatened further action if Iran does not agree to a deal on its nuclear program, signaling a tougher stance from the US.
