Trump's national security adviser announced that senior Houthi officials were killed in strikes in Yemen, but did not specify how many; Mike Waltz demanded that Iran stop aiding the terrorist organization; Defense Minister Pete Hegseth: "The attacks will continue until the Houthis say' ‘We’re done shooting at ships.'; He emphasized that the operation was not intended to change the government situation in Yemen: 'We don't care what's happening in the civil war there'
U.S. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said Sunday afternoon that several "leaders" of the Houthi terror group were eliminated in the latest wave of U.S. airstrikes in Yemen. He did not specify how many were killed. Earlier reports in Arab media claimed six senior Houthi officials were killed, though these reports have not been independently verified. Waltz himself did not provide names or clarify the rank of those killed.
Waltz stressed that Iran should “hear clearly” the message from Washington and immediately end its support for the Houthis, echoing Trump’s warning Saturday night at the launch of the air campaign. Waltz did not rule out potential strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, citing Tehran’s continued refusal to engage in negotiations for a new nuclear agreement and its rejection of harsher U.S. sanctions. “All options are on the table,” he said. “We cannot accept a world where the ayatollahs have their finger on the nuclear button.”
According to Arab media reports, the Houthis have since emptied their missile warehouses and relocated them to underground facilities. Despite the strikes, they vow to continue what they describe as their "campaign of support for Palestine." The Houthis have also threatened retaliation, raising concerns that Israel may once again become a target.
