In response to recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning, encapsulated in his statement: “Stop shooting us, we stop shooting you,” reports Fox News.
U.S. Military Actions Against Houthi Rebels
The U.S. initiated airstrikes against the Houthi movement, which controls significant portions of Yemen, following their attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. These strikes have reportedly resulted in “dozens of military casualties” and targeted over 30 locations, including drone, missile, and air defense systems.
President Trump’s Warning to Iran
President Trump has also directed warnings toward Iran, the primary supporter of the Houthi rebels. He emphasized that any retaliation by the Houthis would be viewed as actions orchestrated by Iran, stating that Iran would be held accountable and face severe consequences.
Houthi Response and Ongoing Conflict
Despite the U.S. strikes, the Houthi rebels remain defiant, claiming to have shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone amid the ongoing conflict. The situation continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in military actions that have significant implications for regional stability.
The international community watches closely as tensions rise, with the potential for further escalation if diplomatic solutions are not pursued.
