Tensions in the Middle East Rise as the Trump Administration Launches Airstrikes on Houthi Rebels<\/b><\/p>\n
Ahn Soyeon (SNUAC)<\/strong><\/p>\n On March 15, U.S. President Donald Trump initiated airstrikes against the Yemeni armed group Houthi rebels, which are reportedly supported by Iran. This action is considered the first major overseas airstrike since the inauguration of Trump’s second term. President Trump explained that the strikes were a response to recent attacks by the Houthi rebels on U.S. warships, commercial vessels, and aircraft in areas such as the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. Between November 2023 and January of this year, the Houthi rebels aggressively attacked over 100 commercial vessels using missiles and drones, and they claimed that their actions were aimed at ending Israel\u2019s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In contrast, President Trump re-designated the Houthi rebels as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in January.<\/p>\n On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump stated that the U.S. administration was targeting the Houthi rebels for their ruthless piracy, violence, and terrorism. He further warned that if the Houthi rebels were to launch retaliatory attacks against U.S. forces, he would hold Iran\u2014identified as their supporter\u2014responsible. In response, the Supreme Commander of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps maintained that despite U.S. threats, the Houthi rebels operate independently and make their own strategic and operational decisions. Additionally, Iran\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the airstrikes on Yemen, calling them a violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter and the basic rules of international law.<\/p>\n Moreover, the timing of the U.S. airstrikes has attracted attention, as they followed reports that President Trump had sent a letter to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, concerning nuclear negotiations. The situation has been further complicated by Israel resuming airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on March 18, which has only increased concerns over instability in the Middle East.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
