President Donald Trump announced on March 15 that he ordered the U.S. military to “launch decisive and powerful” action against Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

The aerial attacks, which Trump said are to restore navigational freedom, are already ongoing and were ordered days after the Houthis said they intended to resume attacks on Israeli ships passing near Yemen in response to the halt in aid reaching Gaza.
