The US army spent strikes from March 15 from March 15, against the goals of the Houthi militia, but the Pentagon did not give details about attacks from March 17, when he said that more than 30 goals of Houthhi had been affected on the first day.
The Central Command of the Army publishes pictures on Social media Jets conducting missions against the Houthis, Iranian group, but refused to find out how many goals have been affected so far or identify several houti commanders who he said was killed.
The Yemeni strikes are located at the center of the debacle, including the Minister of Defense of Peta Hegsetth and other older members of Trump’s administration, who discussed sensitive details about the planned mission in a group chat on the message exchange application before it started.
On Monday, the editor -in -chief of Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, wrote that he was inadvertently involved in chat, whose details could endanger the lives of American pilots.
President Trump said he was not worried about leaks in the end, insisting that “no damage was done because the attack was incredibly successful.”
But several details have been published.
A spokesman for the Central Command said this week that the strikes “destroyed the plants for command and controlled, anti -aircraft defense systems, weapon production facilities and weapons storage sites.”
“Although Houth continues to maintain his ability, this is a large extent because of almost 10 years of support provided by Iran,” a spokesman said.
Air and Navy strikes are intended to pressure Houthis, whose The attacks disrupted international shipping trails In the Red Sea for over a year.
Trump’s administration did not say why he thinks his campaign against the group, which has large underground weapons factories, will succeed after one year’s efforts of the bidet administration to a large extent failed to turn away Houth attacks.
United States started a new offensive on March 15. In parts of the northern Yemen, they control houtis. Airplane Navy attacks, outside the Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, and aircraft aircraft flying from the Base in the Middle East, performed a hit against Houth goals every day.
The initial strikes were the introductory salvo in what senior American officials said that the new offensive was against militants and messages to Iran, while Mr. Trump seeks a nuclear agreement with his government.
Mr. Trump has delegated the powers to hit the goals to regional and local commanders, allowing them to attack the Houthho website faster and more effectively, the commanders say.
Yemeni officials say the strikes hit residential areas and buildings in the heart of San, the capital of Yemen, resulting in an indefinite number of civilian casualties. The Central Command refused to comment on civilians reports killed in strikes.
On the first day of the new offensive, Mr. Trump said on social media that Houthhi “led the relentless campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism against Americans, and other ships, aircraft and drones.”
Mr. Trump then turned to Iranian rulers in Tehran: “Iran: Support for Houthhi terrorists must be finished immediately! They do not threaten the American people, their president, who received one of the greatest seats in the history of the president or the world’s shipping trail. If you do so, because America will be fully responsible.
The management of Biden, often working with the British army, performed several blows against Houthis, but mostly failed to bring stability to the region.
US officials said the air attacks against Houthis Arsenal, a large part of which was buried deep in the underground, could last for several weeks, reinforcing themselves in the extent and proportion, depending on the reaction of militants. US intelligence agencies have struggled in the past to identify and find hoti weapons systems, which are produced in underground factories and smuggling from Iran.
Vice Admiral Kevin M. Donegan, Retired Pilot F/A-18 and US Navy Commander in the Middle East, expressed support to what he said was a comprehensive approach to Trump’s administration of the destruction of the Houthhi network that carries out the strike strikes.
“Time will say whether this network approach will re -establish a free flow of stores, but the success metric is simple: commercial ship traffic through the Red Sea continues or the Red Sea remains closed,” Admiral Donegan said in a telephone interview.
