Pentagon’s Military Plan Against Houthis Set in Motion as U.S. Launches Relentless Strikes
The Pentagon had been drafting new military plans against Houthi forces ever since President Donald J. Trump re-designated them as a terrorist organization shortly after taking office, a U.S. official has confirmed.
Key Details:
• The Houthis’ downing of a U.S. military drone two weeks ago accelerated preparations for the strikes, shifting discussions toward operational timing rather than strategy.
• Trump approved the attack plan on Friday and gave the final order on Saturday, setting the strikes in motion.
• A small number of key allies, including Saudi Arabia and Israel, were informed in advance, while other relevant allies and senior members of Congress were only notified after the strikes began.
Not a One-Off Strike:
• A U.S. official has confirmed that these strikes are part of a sustained military campaign, expected to continue for days or even weeks.
• The goal is to cripple Houthi military capabilities, ensuring long-term maritime security in the Red Sea and deterring Iranian-backed aggression.
As U.S. forces intensify their offensive, will this operation escalate into a broader regional conflict, or serve as a strategic show of force?
