Trump warned Iran, a key backer of the Houthis, that it would be held accountable

On March 15, 2025, President Donald Trump ordered large-scale military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen in response to their attacks on American ships and threats to Israel. The objective of these strikes was to destroy Houthi military bases and restore freedom of navigation in strategic waterways like the Red Sea.

Recently, the Houthis had intensified drone and missile attacks on American and commercial vessels, which Trump deemed a threat to U.S. interests. Using the USS Harry S. Truman and Tomahawk missiles, U.S. Navy ships and aircraft conducted precision strikes on Sanaa, Dhamar, and other Houthi-controlled areas, resulting in at least 19 deaths according to the Houthis.

Trump warned Iran, a key backer of the Houthis, that it would be held accountable, though both nations appear to avoid direct confrontation. Reflecting his “America First” policy, this move has heightened tensions in the Middle East and could disrupt shipping in the Red Sea.

The Houthis have threatened retaliation, while experts suggest Iran might increase support to the Houthis, though a full-scale war seems unlikely. The situation’s future hinges on the Houthis’ response and Iran’s next steps.
