In a post earlier by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, he claims that the Iranian-backed Houthis have been “decimated” by the ongoing strike campaign over the last few weeks, adding that, “Their capabilities that threaten Shipping and the Region are rapidly being destroyed. Our attacks will continue until they are no longer a threat to Freedom of Navigation.” President Trump then further threatens the Houthis and Iran, stating that unless the attacks against U.S. ships stop, “the real pain is yet to come.”
