United States President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the Houthi militants, backed by Iran, have been “decimated” during a sustained military campaign carried out by the United States over the past two weeks. The announcement was made in a post on Truth Social, where Trump detailed the scope and intensity of the strikes.

“Many of their Fighters and Leaders are no longer with us. We hit them every day and night — Harder and harder,” Trump wrote. He emphasized that the capabilities of the militant group are being destroyed rapidly through relentless attacks by the U.S. military.

The president underlined that these operations will not cease until the Houthis no longer pose a threat to international shipping. “As soon as they stop shooting the U.S. ships, we will stop hitting them,” Trump stated. He made it clear that the U.S. action is conditional, tied directly to the behavior of the group in the Red Sea and surrounding waters.

Trump further warned that if the Houthi militants continue their assaults, “the real pain” will be inflicted, suggesting even more severe military responses could follow. His message sent a strong signal of deterrence while reaffirming the administration’s commitment to safeguarding maritime routes and U.S. personnel.

The escalation follows weeks of increasing confrontations, during which the Houthis have launched attacks on commercial and military vessels. The U.S. has responded with precision strikes aimed at degrading the group's command structure and missile capabilities.

With Trump reaffirming that American forces will maintain pressure, the region remains on high alert. Observers note that the president’s rhetoric indicates no signs of a de-escalation, instead pointing to continued operations until the Houthis are neutralized as a threat.
