The US President confirmed that he had ordered the military to launch a series of air strikes, promising to use 'lethal force' until Houthi rebels cease attacks on a shipping corridor.
Donald Trump warned Houthi terrorists that "hell will rain down on you" if they don't cease attacks on Red Sea shipping, and cautioned Iran to halt its support. The US launched air strikes against Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen. Trump stated "overwhelming lethal force" would be used until the attacks stopped. The US military action could last days or weeks.
