The White House released photos of President Donald Trump watching the strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists on Saturday while donning a headset and wearing golf attire.
“President Trump is taking action against the Houthis to defend US shipping assets and deter terrorist threats,” the White House said in a statement. “For too long American economic & national threats have been under assault by the Houthis. Not under this presidency.”

Reuters reported that at least 19 were killed during the strikes.
Some reports even seemed to indicate that Trump targeted some of the groups’ leaders at their homes.
U.S. Central Command released videos and images from the strikes, showing numerous fighter jets being deployed from an aircraft carrier and cruise missiles being fired from a destroyer.Yemeni media report the house of senior Houthi official Hassan Sharaf al-Din was targeted in one of the U.S. airstrikes in Sana’a and that he was killed.

The strikes, believed to be only the opening salvo, are expected to last several days and could significantly increase in intensity depending on the response from the terrorist group.
The strikes were meant to stop the scores of attacks that the Houthis have launched on international shipping lanes in the Red Sea, and to send a message to Iran with respect to its nuclear program.
“Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going,” Trump said. “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,” he continued. “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.”
Trump concluded his message to the Houthis: “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!”
He also had a message for Iran, telling the Islamic regime that its support for the Houthis “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,” he said. “If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!”
