U.S. Strikes Houthis in Yemen as Trump Warns Iran Over Support

American airstrikes in Sanaa kill nine civilians as Trump vows decisive action against Houthi rebels and issues a stark warning to Iran.

The U.S. conducted airstrikes targeting Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killing nine civilians and injuring nine others, according to Houthi sources.
President Donald Trump described the operation as a 'decisive and powerful' military action against the Houthis, pledging to use 'overwhelming lethal force' to achieve U.S. objectives.
Trump demanded that Iran cease its support for the Houthis, whom he labeled 'terrorists,' and warned of severe consequences if Iran continues to threaten American interests or global maritime routes.
The strikes follow the Houthis’ announcement of resumed attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways, which they claim are linked to Israel.
The conflict is tied to broader tensions, with the Houthis citing solidarity with Palestinians and Israel's refusal to facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza as key grievances.
