Washington: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to completely eradicate the Huti rebels. He said, “The loss that has just happened will move forward further, and they will be completely destroyed.” Trump also warned Iran that “If he did not stop sending a large amount of supply to the huts, the consequences would be bad.” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Iran has reduced military support to the huts, but is still sending a huge amount of supply. It has to be closed immediately. Let the huts fight themselves. They will lose anyway, but will lose early.”

Huki targeting American ships

Trump's remarks came when Iran -backed Huti rebels attacked US Navy ships in Red C. The Huti spokesperson claimed that he targeted USS Harry Truman and other warships with a cruise missile and drone. Earlier on Saturday, Trump ordered a massive attack on the huts. At least 53 people were killed in these attacks, including women and children. About 100 people were injured.

Trump had warned, “If the attacks of Huti terrorists continue, then he would rain on them as never seen before!” Trump warned Iran directly saying that “if Iran tries to threaten America, we would blame it completely, and it would not be good at all!”

Huti rebels have been attacking Red Sea, Gulf of Adene and other sea routes since 2023. He claims that this is a retaliation against Israeli's Gaza blockade.
