Trump Vows 'Major Military Punishment' Over Houthi Red Sea Strikes

US President Donald Trump has vowed to take 'major military punishment' against Houthi rebels following a series of strikes in the Red Sea. The move comes amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran-backed Houthi forces. The US has accused Houthi rebels of attacking a US warship in the Red Sea, leading to a significant escalation in the conflict. The US has been involved in a proxy war with Iran in the region, with the US providing military support to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The Houthi rebels have been fighting a long-running insurgency against the Yemeni government, backed by Iran. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and widespread destruction in Yemen.
