In a decisive military action, Donald Trump has ordered a series of airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The strikes come in response to recent threats made by the Houthis against ships in the Red Sea and are part of a broader warning to Iran to cease its support for the militant group. According to U.S. officials, the air operations are expected to continue for several days or even weeks, with initial reports indicating at least 19 casualties. The military campaign aims to target Houthi strongholds, emphasizing a firm message to both the rebels and Tehran that their actions will not go unpunished.
