President Trump ordered powerful military strikes against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen this weekend. The attacks targeted Houthi weapons, leaders, and defense systems. Trump warned the Houthis to stop attacking American ships or face even bigger consequences. He said, “If they don’t stop, hell will rain down on them like nothing they’ve ever seen.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed the U.S. will keep bombing the Houthis until they quit attacking ships in the Red Sea. He called the strikes “unrelenting” and said America won’t back down. Hegseth blamed Iran for funding and arming the Houthis, telling Iran to “back off” or face U.S. action. He said Trump’s team is serious about protecting American ships and sailors, unlike the weak Biden administration.
Iran denied helping the Houthis, but Trump isn’t buying it. He sent a letter to Iran’s leaders demanding they stop supporting terrorism. Trump warned Iran not to test him, saying America will hold them “fully accountable” if they keep causing trouble. He also wants Iran to stop building nuclear weapons and offered to talk if they give up their dangerous plans.
The Houthis have attacked over 100 ships since 2023, sinking two and killing sailors. They even threatened a U.S. aircraft carrier this week. Trump said these attacks hurt the global economy by forcing ships to take longer routes. Gas prices went up last year because ships avoided the Red Sea, costing billions. Trump promised to fix this by crushing the Houthis.
The White House released photos of Trump watching the strikes from the Situation Room. He wore his famous red hat and golf clothes, showing he’s in charge. Trump said Biden let the Houthis get away with murder, but now America is fighting back. He reminded everyone that he killed a top Iranian general in 2020 and isn’t afraid to hit enemies hard.
Iran’s leaders rejected Trump’s letter and refuse to negotiate while U.S. sanctions exist. But Trump’s team says maximum pressure works. They bankrupted Iran before and will do it again if needed. The Pentagon says Iran is closer than ever to building nukes, so Trump is pushing for a deal to stop them without war.
Houthi reports claim women and children died in the strikes, but the U.S. hasn’t confirmed this. Critics say Trump is escalating violence, but supporters praise him for defending American interests. The Houthis called the strikes a “war crime” and promised more attacks. Trump says they’ll regret it if they try.
This is the biggest U.S. military action in the Middle East since Trump took office. He’s proving that strength stops bullies. The world is watching as Trump protects ships, stands up to Iran, and shows America is back in charge. Weakness invited chaos under Biden, but Trump’s leadership is restoring peace through power.
