President Donald Trump said on Monday that U.S. attacks on the Iran-backed Houthis, an armed movement that has taken control of the most populous parts of Yemen, will continue until they are no longer a threat to freedom of navigation.

U.S. officials seek to curb the militants’ attacks on ships in the Red Sea, but the group was not deterred by strikes in the Biden era and won’t be beaten by air power alone, experts say.

Yet after months of sustained bombardment, the Houthis remain undeterred. Their anti-ship missile and drone assaults continue to imperil one of the world’s most critical maritime corridors. The Pentagon has reiterated that it does not intend to entangle ...

The Houthis began targeting commercial shipping on November 19, 2023, and claimed their first attack on a U.S. warship on January 9, 2024. In response, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 2722 on January 10, 2024, condemning the maritime attacks and calling for their immediate cessation.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth again on Tuesday dodged questions about whether the information he put in a Signal group chat was classified. In Hawaii, he repeated almost word for word his short statement from the day before that “nobody’s texting war plans.”

U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month ordered air strikes against the Houthis, who threatened to renew attacks on shipping in solidarity with Hamas forces in Gaza after a ceasefire with Israel broke down and Israeli forces resumed an offensive.

In response, the US, Israel and other countries have intensified their military actions against the Houthis. The escalation of this "asymmetric conflict" has impacted the regional situation in the Red Sea and the southern Arabian Peninsula.
