Recipe for failure: On the U.S. and Yemen
The HinduDonald Trump came to power with a promise to shut down the wars in Ukraine and West Asia. Trump administration officials say the “pre-emptive” strike, targeting the Ansar Allah, was to prevent Shia militants from attacking the shipping lanes of the Red Sea. “The minute the Houthis say, ‘We’ll stop shooting at your ships’, we’ll stop shooting at your drones,” said U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, indicating a long-drawn campaign. The Houthis, who captured Sana’a in 2014, “declared war against Israel” in 2023 in solidarity with the Palestinians, after Israel launched the war on Gaza, following the October 7 Hamas attack. By launching a massive air strike against the Houthis, one of the strongest members of the Iran-backed resistance network, Mr. Trump is unmistakably telling the Iranians that he is not hesitant to use force.
