The United States is taking bold action to protect American interests and global shipping lanes from Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists. President Donald Trump ordered devastating strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen over the weekend. These attacks show America’s strength under strong leadership after years of weakness.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made it clear the bombing will continue until the Houthis stop attacking ships. “We don’t care about Yemen’s civil war,” he said. This campaign is about keeping the Red Sea open for trade. The Houthis have threatened freedom of navigation for too long. President Trump warned them directly: “Your time is up.”
Iran is the real problem here. They fund and train the Houthis to cause chaos. Secretary Hegseth told Iran to back off or face consequences. President Trump sent a letter to Iran’s leaders demanding they stop supporting terrorists. America won’t let Iran push us around anymore. The days of empty threats are over.
These strikes also send a message to Hamas. U.S. officials say Hamas should learn from what’s happening to the Houthis. America won’t tolerate attacks on our allies like Israel. Hamas tried to propose a weak ceasefire deal, but the U.S. rejected it. Terrorists only understand strength, and Trump is showing plenty of it.
Our friends in the Gulf are cheering these strikes. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have suffered Houthi attacks for years. They’re tired of watching America do nothing. Now they see real leadership. Over 40 airstrikes hit Houthi targets in one night. Dozens of terrorists were killed, including their leaders.
The Houthis’ attacks drove up costs for everyone. Ships had to take longer routes to avoid Red Sea danger. That made oil prices rise and hurt the economy. President Trump is fixing what Joe Biden broke. Biden lifted sanctions on the Houthis and let Iran get rich. Now Trump is cleaning up the mess.
Russia tried to lecture America about using force. But Secretary of State Marco Rubio shut them down. The U.S. doesn’t need permission to defend itself. Weak countries like Russia can’t handle strong American action. Trump’s team isn’t afraid to do what’s right.
America is back. President Trump proved that peace comes through strength. The Houthis will learn this lesson the hard way if they keep testing us. Iran and their terrorist friends have been put on notice. The world sees America leading again under fearless conservative leadership.
