US Army strikes in Yemen may continue for weeks
Representatives of the Donald Trump administration have informed The Guardian that US Air Force strikes against the Houthis in Yemen may continue for several more weeks.

On March 15, Donald Trump ordered the US Armed Forces to initiate a military operation against the Houthi movement "Ansar Allah" in Yemen. He attributed this action to "piracy, violence, and terrorism" against US and other nations' naval vessels and aircraft. According to recent reports, 31 people have been killed and over 100 injured as a result of the airstrikes.

The US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East, described Saturday's attacks as the beginning of a large-scale operation in Yemen.

"The Houthis' attacks on American ships and aircraft (and our troops!) are unacceptable. Iran, their sponsor, has been warned," wrote US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on his social media page.

A Pentagon representative informed the newspaper that since 2023, the Houthis have attacked US military vessels 174 times and commercial ships 145 times.

According to an unnamed Al-Arabiya channel source, the Houthis have expressed their readiness to negotiate with the US.

In turn, Huzam al-Asad, a member of the Houthi political bureau, stated that "Ansar Allah" is not willing to engage in negotiations until the US stops bombing Yemeni cities.

For reference, the Houthis are a Yemeni Shia militant movement officially known as "Ansar Allah." They actively resist the Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia and its allies, considering Israel their main enemy.
