President Donald Trump on Saturday ordered the U.S. military to begin military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.

The Houthis launched 190 attacks in the Red Sea between November 2023 and October 2024, according to the US Congress. Previously, the UK and US conducted joint naval and air strikes against the group. Israel has also targeted sites linked to the Houthis in separate strikes.

While warning Iran, Trump vowed to use “overwhelming lethal force” against Yemen’s Houthis for its attacks on commercial ships and U.S. forces in the region.
