Hell Will Rain Down: Trump Issues Final Warning to Houthis

President Donald J. Trump announced today that he has ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful military action against Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

In a statement posted on his official social media account, the President condemned the Houthis for their relentless campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism targeting American and international ships, aircraft, and drones.

President Trump criticized the previous administration’s handling of the Houthi threat, stating, “Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going.” He highlighted that it has been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through critical waterways such as the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American warship to traverse the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis more than a dozen times.

The President emphasized that the Houthis, funded by Iran, have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft and targeted American troops and allies. These continuous attacks have cost the U.S. and global economy billions of dollars while endangering innocent lives. “The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated,” Trump declared. “We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.”

President Trump underscored the severity of the Houthi threat to global trade, stating, “The Houthis have choked off shipping in one of the most important waterways of the world, grinding vast swaths of global commerce to a halt.” He reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to defending the principle of freedom of navigation, which is essential for international trade and commerce.

The President announced that U.S. military forces are currently carrying out aerial attacks on Houthi bases, leaders, and missile defense systems. These operations aim to protect American shipping, air, and naval assets while restoring navigational freedom in the region. “No terrorist force will stop American commercial and naval vessels from freely sailing the waterways of the world,” Trump asserted.

Final Warning to the Houthis and Iran

In a direct message to the Houthis, President Trump warned, “To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!”

He also issued a stern warning to Iran, stating, “Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY! Do NOT threaten the American people, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential history, or worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable, and we won’t be nice about it!”
