In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, President Donald Trump has ordered a massive wave of U.S. military strikes on Yemen’s Houthi rebels, sending shockwaves across the globe.
On the night of March 15, 2025, the skies over Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, lit up with explosions as American forces unleashed what Trump described as “decisive and powerful” action against the Iran-backed militants.
Trump Unleashes Devastating Strikes on Houthis
Stunning images captured plumes of black smoke and raging fires illuminating the night, as Houthi-controlled areas, including Sanaa’s airport and military facilities, bore the brunt of the assault.
The strikes, the most significant U.S. operation in the region since Trump’s second term began, targeted Houthi bases, leaders, and missile defenses in response to the group’s relentless attacks on Red Sea shipping lanes—disrupting global trade and threatening navigational freedom.
The Houthis, a Shia rebel group locked in a decade-long civil war with Yemen’s internationally recognized government, have long been a thorn in the side of Western powers. With backing from Iran, they’ve escalated their aggression, targeting commercial vessels in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The U.S. action follows months of Houthi defiance, which has slashed traffic through the critical Suez Canal, causing economic ripple effects worldwide.
Houthi officials condemned the strikes as “wicked aggression,” reporting at least 31 deaths, including women and children, and over 100 injuries. The group vowed retaliation, raising fears of a broader conflict in an already volatile region. Meanwhile, Trump took to Truth Social to defend the operation, stating, “We will not tolerate threats to American assets or international commerce—FAFO.”
Experts warn this could draw Iran deeper into the fray, given its role as the Houthis’ primary backer. The strikes mark a sharp departure from the Biden administration’s more restrained approach, signaling Trump’s willingness to confront Tehran’s proxies head-on. As smoke clears over Yemen, the world watches anxiously: Will this ignite a new chapter in the Middle East’s endless wars, or can the U.S. restore stability to these troubled waters?
