US President Donald Trump said on Monday that the attacks on the Houthis will continue until their danger to freedom of navigation will go away.
“The choice in front of the Houthis is clear: they stopped shooting at American ships, and we will stop shooting you. Otherwise, we only initially, and the real pain has not yet come … whether for the Houthis or their sponsors in Iran,” Trump added in a post on the Truth Social site.
This comes as the US Air Force carried out a series of raids on the “Dailami” air base in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthi movement on Monday evening.
The United States carried out three air strikes on Houthi weapons stores at the “Dailami” air base. There was no information about injuries or damage as a result of the air strike.
The Al -Arabi and Al -Hadath channel correspondent also confirmed that American raids targeted the Houthi sites on Monday evening in Kamran, Al Hudaydah Governorate, west of Yemen.
The vicinity of Sana’a was exposed to US air strikes in the early hours of Monday morning, and the Houthis said at least one person was killed by the raids.
The new American campaign against the Houthis in the shadow of Donald Trump’s presidency appears more comprehensive than those under the leadership of former President Joe Biden, as the American army moved from targeting launch sites only to bombing leadership figures.
The new campaign of air strikes began after the Houthis threatened to start targeting ships again in the vital marine corridors.
