US airstrikes are reportedly hitting the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa today, with President Trump promising “overwhelming lethal force” against the Houthi movement in northern Yemen unless they stop all attacks on international shipping.
Trump said that he had decided to launch “decisive and powerful military action” against the “Houthi terrorists,” accusing them of piracy against Americans. He also condemned former President Joe Biden for being “pathetically weak” and said no American commercial ship had gone through the Suez Canal in over a year.
Like many of the important US declarations of war these days, President Trump’s announcement came via a post on his social media application Truth Social, and was punctuated with all caps screeds railing about hell raining down on Yemen “like nothing you have ever seen before!”
