US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the Iran -backed Huthi rebels of Yemen would be “completely destroyed,” Tehran warned against continuous assistance to the group amid the ongoing US military campaign against him.
Trump posted on his true social platform, “Iran should stop sending these supply immediately.
Republican mentions reports that Iran has “reduced its intensity on military equipment and general support for Huthi, although” added “they are still sending large levels of supply.”
“There is tremendous damage to the holy barbaric people, and see that it will become worse progressively – it’s not even a fair fight, and will never happen. They will be completely destroyed!” His post continued.
After the onset of the Gaza War on October 7, 2023, the Huthis targeted ships in the Red Sea and until the January 1 ceasefire, claimed solidarity with the Palestinians.
But last week, he threatened to renew the attacks on Israel’s shipping on Israeli’s assistance blockade on the Palestinian region, trumping the first US attacks on Yemen since Trump took over in January.
Washington started the new military aggressive on Saturday, until the rebels stopped firing on the major shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
Trump had earlier told Tehran that he would hold Iran responsible for any attack by the Huthi, a part of Iran’s “axis” against the United States and Israel.
The Hathi media on Wednesday reported several US attacks in rebel-accepted areas around Yemen, including the capital Sana.
The Health Ministry operated by Hathi said that Saturday’s strike killed 53 people and injured around 100 others. The United States has stated that the attacks killed several top officials of Hathi.
Huhehis claimed to have attacked American warships in The Red C on Wednesday, the fourth strike they took credit in the last three days.
US authorities have closed Hathi’s claims as “lies and disintegration”, saying with a top military commander, saying that rebels were recalling their goals of over 100 miles (160 km).
Yemen has seen over a decade of civil war for more than a decade, with the Huthis who have controlled Sanaa since 2014.
