President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Iran on Wednesday, demanding it immediately cut off all support to Yemen’s Ansarullah terrorist group—also known as the Houthis—or face devastating consequences from the U.S. military. Trump’s message was loud and clear: whether Iran backs off or not, the Houthis are on a path to total annihilation.
Trump posted to Truth Social, slamming Tehran’s continued supply shipments to the terrorist faction despite reportedly easing off on military hardware. “Iran must stop the sending of these Supplies IMMEDIATELY. Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly.” Trump added that the group has already suffered “tremendous damage” and warned that it’s “not even a fair fight” anymore, promising “They will be completely annihilated!”
The warning follows a major escalation in Yemen, where Trump-authorized airstrikes continue to hammer Houthi strongholds, including the heavily fortified Saada province. The strikes resumed after the Houthis restarted their campaign of maritime terrorism in the Red Sea on March 12, threatening global shipping lanes and U.S. Navy assets.
Since the Iran-backed group declared war on Israel in solidarity with Hamas last October, they’ve targeted dozens of international ships—including vessels not even affiliated with Israel. Despite claiming to champion “resistance,” the Houthis have shown they’re equal-opportunity terrorists, attacking even Russian and Chinese-linked cargo in a bid to destabilize the global economy.
Trump’s posture is a total reversal from the Biden-era appeasement. Where Biden offered hollow statements, Trump has made it clear that any attack carried out by the Houthis will be treated as a direct act of Iranian aggression. “Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN,” Trump declared over the weekend, vowing “dire” consequences for the regime in Tehran.
Despite Houthi propaganda, the Pentagon confirmed that a recent attempted strike on the USS Harry Truman missed by over 100 miles—a humiliating reminder of their incompetence. “Quite frankly, it’s hard to tell because… they missed by over 100 miles,” Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich remarked, further casting doubt on the group’s credibility.
This isn’t just a regional skirmish anymore—it’s a global test of American resolve. And President Trump is passing that test with flying colors, making it clear to Iran and its terrorist proxies: the United States is back, and there’s a new sheriff in town.
