Trump Orders Strikes on Houthis, Criticizes Biden

News summary

President Donald Trump has authorized a series of powerful military strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, targeting their radar systems, air defenses, and missile sites to protect American and allied shipping in the Red Sea. The operation, executed by the USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group and involving Air Force attack jets, aims to counteract the Houthis' disruption of critical shipping routes. Trump has issued stern warnings to both the Houthis and Iran, the group's main supporter, threatening severe consequences unless they cease their hostile activities. The strikes come in response to the Houthis' recent declaration of renewed attacks on Israeli vessels in retaliation for Israel's blockade on Gaza. Trump criticized former President Joe Biden's previous handling of the situation, asserting that his administration would not tolerate further threats to international navigational freedom. The military action marks a decisive shift in U.S. policy towards the Houthi threat, which has already led to significant economic disruptions globally.
