The U.S. military began a large-scale operation Saturday against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen to defend American interests and global maritime trade, President Donald Trump announced.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it launched “precision strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets across Yemen to defend American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation.”
A video accompanying CENTCOM’s statement shows fighter jets taking off from an aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, deployed in the Red Sea as part of a strike group. Other videos posted by CENTCOM show a warship firing missiles and a missile hitting a target.
