Dubai, United Arab Emirates – President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday with Yemen’s rebels that they will be “completely annihilated” as US air attacks hit the locations under their control, while further pressing the main benefactor of the Iran group.
Strikes hit Sanaa, the capital of Yemen Rebelde, as well as his strength of Saada in the northwest of the country on Wednesday night, the Al-Masrah satellite news channel in Houthi reported.
He also said that strikes occurred during the night on Tuesday, although the United States army has not offered a breakdown of places directed since the air attack campaign began. The first attacks this weekend killed at least 53 people, including children, and wounded others.
As the attacks hit, Trump wrote on his social website of the truth that “tremendous damage to the hutis barbarians has been inflicted.”
“Note how it will worsen progressively, it is not even a fair fight, and it will never be,” Trump added. “They will be completely annihilated!”
Meanwhile, Trump again warned Iran that he does not assemble the Hutis, claiming without offering evidence that Tehran “has diminished his intensity in the military team and general support for the hutis.”
“Iran must stop sending these supplies immediately,” he wrote.
Iran did not have an immediate response to Trump’s post.
The Islamic Republic has armed the Hutis for a long time, who are members of the Zaydi sect of the minority of the Islam minority that ruled Yemen for 1,000 years until 1962. Tehran routinely denies the rebels, despite physical evidence, numerous convulsions and experts that link weapons to Iran. That is likely because Tehran wants to avoid sanctions for violating an embargo on the United Nations weapons in the hutis.
The Houthi rebels attacked more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, from November 2023 to January of this year, when the fire began a stop in Gaza. The campaign also greatly increased the profile of the hutis in the broader Arab world and hastened public criticism against their human rights abuses and repression in workers of dissent and help.
