President says “Hell will fall” if the group does not stop attacking commercial vessels and US war ships
United States President Donald Trump (Republican Party), military attacks against Yemen Houthis on Saturday (15.Mar.2025) due to the group’s actions against the Red Sea.
Trump warned the Houthis, saying that “Hell will fall” If the group does not stop attacking commercial vessels and US war ships.
He also warned that Iran, the main supporter of the Houthis, needed to stop immediately to support the group. Trump said that if Iran threatened the United States, “America will fully blame them and we will not be kind to it.”
The attacks were a few days after the Houthis announced plans to resume offensive to Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabic seas, the Bab Al-Mandab Strait and the Gulf of Aden, ending a period of relative calm started in January with the ceasefire in Gaza.
The Houthis launched more than 100 attacks against ships from November 2023, saying they were in solidarity with the Palestinians by the Israel war with Hamas in Gaza.
During this period, the group sank 2 ships, seized another and killed at least 4 sailors. The offensive interrupted global maritime transport, forcing companies to redirect routes for longer and more expensive trips in southern Africa.
“The Hurti attack on American Vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we reach our goal ”wrote Trump.
