Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.

Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.

The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective. The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important Waterways of the World, grinding vast swaths of Global Commerce to a halt, and attacking the core principle of Freedom of Navigation upon which International Trade and Commerce depends.

Our brave Warfighters are right now carrying out aerial attacks on the terrorists’ bases, leaders, and missile defenses to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets, and to restore Navigational Freedom. No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the Waterways of the World.

To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!

To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!

Drones are a sucky factor. Sending a missile at every Amazon drone is not feasible. The location of their controller can be hard to isolate. Maybe jamming communications can work. Targeting leaders, perhaps the Yemeni hosts. Are there specific regions or towns which are harboring Houthis?

Interesting to watch.

I heard their drones referred to as "flying lawnmowers". It sounds like it costs us $1 Million dollars every time we shoot them down with a missile. I'd suggest we get DOGE involved and figure out why we're spending Hollywood money on the bullets we're using to shoot down drones that cost $10,000 to make.

,Houthis Launch More Ballistic Missiles At Tel Aviv Despite Ongoing US Strikes

Thursday, Mar 27, 2025 - 07:10 PM

At a moment Western media has been consumed with 'Signalgate' ... the Houthis have continued launching missiles directly at Israel, as well as against targets in the Black Sea.

Clearly the Pentagon's repeat bombing raids on the capital as well as the key port city of Hodeida have done nothing to actually deter the Houthi (Ansarallah) attacks.

On Thursday the group announced another ballistic missile attack. "The missile force targeted Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area with a Zulfiqar ballistic missile, and a military target south of occupied Jaffa with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal," said a military statement.

The Israeli army confirmed there was an inbound missile, and sirens sounded across central Israel, sending tens of thousands into emergency shelters.

The IDF military said, "following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, two missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory," adding that "sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol."

Israeli anti-air defense systems were active during the attack. The IDF has said at least two projectiles coming from the south were intercepted in the morning hours.

The Houthis further on Thursday said they've "targeted hostile warships in the Red Sea, including the American aircraft carrier (USS Harry S) Truman," which he said was "in retaliation to the ongoing US aggression against our country."

The Truman has been targeted several times over the past nearly two weeks. However, the Pentagon has given no indication it has ever been hit, or come even close to it - but details have been scant.

Meanwhile US airstrikes on Yemen have been ongoing:

Earlier Thursday, the rebels said two people had been killed in overnight air strikes near the rebel-controlled capital Sanaa that they blamed on the United States.

The Huthis' Al-Masirah TV channel reported nearly 20 strikes on Sanaa governorate, both north and south of the capital.

"The American aggression killed two and injured two," the Huthi-run health ministry's spokesman Anis al-Asbahi said on social media platform X.

Clearly at this point forces under US Central Command (CENTCOM) are in an active state of war in Yemen and the Red Sea.

And yet, there's still been no war authorization from Congress - or so much as a public debate. A tiny handful of Congressional leaders have called the US administration out on this, especially Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.

The US airstrikes also appear to be more about defending Israel, and less about immediate US national security interests
