President Trump says he has ordered a “decisive” military action against Houthi rebels in Yemen, opening a new salvo against the Iran-backed group that has targeted shipping lanes in the Red Sea. Trump said the US would deploy “overwhelming lethal force” against the group “until we have achieved our objective.” “They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said US personnel were carrying out aerial attacks on Houthi bases, leaders and missile defenses “to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom.” “No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World,” Trump wrote. The US has been working to degrade Houthi capabilities for months as the entity worked to disrupt international shipping lanes following the October 7 terror attacks in Israel. The group has targeted more than 100 ships and vessels, including with drones, missiles and small ships.
