President Trump has announced a relentless military campaign against the Iran-backed Houthi group, pledging that attacks will persist until the threats to commercial shipping in the Red Sea are neutralized. The strikes began on March 15 after the Houthis targeted Israeli ships during a cease-fire in the Gaza Conflict. Trump emphasized the need for Houthis to stop their aggressions against U.S. vessels, asserting that devastating repercussions await their continued actions. The operation's details were inadvertently leaked to the media just days prior, raising concerns among some officials about its implications for trade routes vital to European economies.
The Iran-backed Houthi Terrorists have been decimated by the relentless strikes over the past two weeks. Many of their Fighters and Leaders are no longer with us.
Our attacks will continue until they are no longer a threat to Freedom of Navigation. The choice for the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at U.S. ships, and we will stop shooting at you.
The military plans to strike the Houthis were inadvertently disclosed to journalist Jeffrey Goldberg days before the operation took place.
I think we are making a mistake. [Three] percent of US trade runs through the [Suez Canal]. 40 percent of European trade does.
