TRUMP-ERA Airstrike Shocks Houthi Rebels: Over 70 Dead at OIL Port

Dubai (city) Geography, Map, & History Britannica

A U.S. airstrike ordered by President Trump hit the Ras Isa oil port in Yemen, killing more than 70 people and injuring many others. The target was a facility run by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, showing a bold move in America’s fight against the group. The attack happened just before new talks between the U.S. and Iran about Tehran’s nuclear program. Washington has linked these talks to Iran’s actions in Yemen. The Houthis have attacked ships in the Red Sea and fired on Israel, making them a major threat to American interests. Houthi media showed bodies at the scene and burning tanker trucks after the strike. The rebels called it “unjustified aggression.” Some experts warn this could hurt fuel supplies for millions living under Houthi control. The Biden administration says it is pressuring Iran but faces criticism for not being tough enough on its proxies like the Houthis. This strike proves that when American interests are at risk, military action is still an option — no matter who is president.
