On Saturday, March 15, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a large-scale military strike against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. This action was taken in response to Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping routes. The airstrikes resulted in at least 31 casualties, most of whom were civilians, including women and children.
The U.S. military operation included air and naval strikes, targeting Houthi military bases and missile defense systems. The attack caused significant damage, leading to power outages and injuries among civilians.
President Trump emphasized that this military action was necessary to ensure the safety of American ships and to pressure Iran over its nuclear program. He also warned Iran to halt its support for the Houthis, stating that the U.S. would respond firmly to any threats against its interests.
Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels condemned the attack, calling it a war crime and vowing retaliation. Reports indicate multiple explosions and airstrikes in several provinces across Yemen.
This escalation comes amid U.S. efforts to pressure Iran into resuming nuclear negotiations and growing security threats to international shipping routes in the region.
