Houthis threaten attacks on US warships
The de facto Yemeni authorities have vowed retaliation for the ongoing deadly bombing campaign
March 17, 2025 | By RT
The US has reportedly launched new airstrikes targeting the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah after the leader of the Houthi movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, delivered a fiery speech condemning the attacks and threatening direct military action against American naval forces.
US President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to carry out a "decisive and powerful" operation on Saturday, aiming to dismantle the Houthi leadership and their ability to disrupt vital shipping lanes in the region. The first round of US strikes overnight killed at least 53 people, including women and children, and left nearly 100 injured, according to Yemen's Houthi-run Health Ministry.
[Editor's note: A "decisive and powerful" operation only invites retaliation and escalation.]
In his speech on Sunday, al-Houthi urged the Yemeni people to mobilize to confront the American "escalation with escalation," insisting that Yemen will not be pressured into submission.
"The American aircraft carrier and warships will be our target, and the decision to ban navigation will include the US as long as it continues its aggression," he declared.
[Editor's note: The Houthis seem to be very cautious in their response but escalation only means at some point a Houthi missile will get through.]

The Houthis claimed to have targeted the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group in the northern Red Sea with a volley of 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, earlier on Sunday.
A senior US defense official told Fox News that approximately a dozen attack drones were intercepted and neutralized before posing a serious threat to the carrier group, leaving the Truman and its accompanying vessels unaffected.
The Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis, has controlled a large part of war-torn Yemen since the mid-2010s. The group launched dozens of strikes on international shipping assets in late 2023 as part of a campaign staged in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. Initially blocking only Israeli-linked maritime traffic, the Houthis later expanded their targets to include American and British commercial and military ships after a series of joint US-UK strikes on Yemen.
