US President Donald Trump ordered military attacks against sites in Yemen controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia after months of disruption to shipping lanes in the Red Sea.
Trump said on Saturday the strikes came in response to the Houthis’ maritime attacks on vessels sailing through the Suez Canal and southern Red Sea, ostensibly in solidarity with Hamas following the 2023 outbreak of its war with Israel in Gaza.
