Note: Yemen did not attack US ships before March 2025, until Trump decided to bomb Yemen in an attempt to resolve the Red Sea crisis. The goal was to prevent the Houthis from targeting ships affiliated with Israel. It failed; The attacks on Israeli shipping throughout the Red Sea continued until the end of 2025, and resulted in the bankruptcy of the Port of Eilat. President Trump took credit for stopping the Yemenis from attacking US vessels - something they had not done before Operation Rough Rider. This is a repeating pattern in Mr. Trump's infantile mind. He creates a problem, then brags about solving the problem he himself created.
