US President Donald Trump announced the issuance of orders for the American armed forces to launch a "decisive and strong" military action against the Houthis in Yemen, warning Iran that the United States will hold it "full responsibility" and will not be "nice" in its response, if it does not end its support for the Houthis "immediately".

Trump said on his network, "Truth Social", today, Saturday (15 March 2025), that the former president's response to the Houthis "was weakly weak", which encouraged them to "continue their attacks without restrictions."

He pointed out that more than a year has passed since a commercial ship bearing the American flag sailed with "safety" through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden, while the last American warship crossed the Red Sea four months ago, "it was attacked by the Houthis more than twelve times."

Also, the Houthis, "who are funded by Iran," fired missiles at American aircraft, targeting their forces and allies, and these continuous attacks "cost the United States and the global economy billions of dollars, while the lives of innocent people were at risk."
