On March 15, 2025, US President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes in Yemen targeting the Iran-backed Houthi militants, following their resumption of attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis claimed that at least 13 civilians were killed, labeling the strikes as a war crime. Trump emphasized the importance of freedom of navigation in international trade, stating that overwhelming lethal force would be used until the Houthis cease their aggressive actions. The strikes are expected to continue for several days, escalating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
The Houthis' recent attacks have severely disrupted global commerce, with President Trump stating that their actions attack the core principles of international trade and freedom of navigation.
After the US airstrikes, the Houthis condemned the attacks as a war crime, revealing the complexities and human cost of the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
