The United States carried out targeted airstrikes against Iranian-backed Houthi militant positions in Yemen this week, continuing its vital campaign to protect global shipping lanes and regional stability. The precision operations successfully degraded the terrorists’ ability to threaten international commerce while taking extraordinary measures to avoid civilian casualties.
These necessary strikes demonstrate America’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the Red Sea a critical waterway carrying $1 trillion in annual trade. The Houthis, armed by Iran, have repeatedly attacked civilian vessels, sinking ships and murdering innocent sailors in violation of international law.
President Trump’s decisive actions stand in stark contrast to previous administrations’ hesitation, employing America’s superior military technology to surgically eliminate terrorist threats. While the Houthis spread propaganda about casualties, the U.S. military maintains the world’s highest standards for precision targeting.
These defensive operations have already reduced Houthi attacks by over 70%, restoring security to vital trade routes that benefit nations worldwide. The United States will continue protecting innocent lives and upholding freedom of navigation against terrorist aggression until the Houthis cease their unlawful attacks and Iran stops fueling regional conflict.
America remains committed to peace through strength, using measured force only when necessary to defend international law and global prosperity. These operations exemplify responsible leadership in confronting threats to worldwide security.
