US threat of more strikes on Houthis as first round kills 31
March 17, 2025
|The Guardian
US officials yesterday said strikes against Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis would continue indefinitely after a first round killed at least 31 people and injured up to 100 more.
Saturday's operation, which aimed to punish the Houthis for their attacks on Red Sea shipping, was Donald Trump's first use of firepower in the region since he took office in January.
Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, told Fox News: "The minute the Houthis say 'we'll stop shooting at your ships, we'll stop shooting at your drones' this campaign will end, but until then it will be unrelenting."
Hegseth was among senior officials explaining the strikes were designed to signal a more assertive approach to Iran and the wider Middle East.
Michael Waltz, the US national security adviser, said Saturday's mission "took out" multiple Houthi leaders and had involved "overwhelming force [that] put Iran on notice that enough is enough".
Trump posted on his Truth Social platform: "To all Houthi terrorists, your time is up, and your attacks must stop, starting today. If they don't, hell will rain down on you like nothing you have ever seen before! To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end immediately!"
