The operation began as part of Washington\u2019s increasing sanctions pressure on Iran, which backs the Houthis.<br \/>\nTrump warned Iran to stop supporting the group, threatening severe consequences if it continued to back the Houthis.<br \/>\nIn a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump said \u201cTo all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON\u2019T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!\u201d<br \/>\nThe Houthis, who have launched numerous attacks on shipping vessels off Yemen\u2019s coast since November 2023, have also targeted US warships.<br \/>\nThese attacks have disrupted global shipping and prompted the US military to launch a costly campaign to intercept missiles and drones.<br \/>\nThe US strikes killed at least 13 civilians in the Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa and 11 others, including children, in the northern province of Saada.<br \/>\nThe Houthi political bureau condemned the attacks as a \u201cwar crime,\u201d and promised retaliation.<br \/>\nThe attacks occurred as the US military ramped up operations to curb Houthi activities, and Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth stated that \u201cfreedom of navigation will be restored\u201d following the strikes.<br \/>\nTrump, who authorised the use of overwhelming force against the Houthis, further emphasised the need to neutralise the threat to US shipping.<br \/>\nThe strikes also follow a letter Trump sent to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, seeking talks over Iran\u2019s nuclear programme, which Khamenei rejected earlier this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump order strikes on Yemen\u2019s Houthis in response to attacks on global shipping Washington US President Donald Trump authorised large-scale military strikes against Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels over the group\u2019s attacks on Red Sea shipping, killing at least 31 people in the first wave of an operation expected to last several days.
