President Trump announced that the US on March 15 conducted “accurate and powerful” attacks on targets such as military base, radar network, drone (UAV) and Houthi air defense systems across Yemen. Most of these goals are thought to be deep underground and difficult to bombardment.
At least one high -level commander of Houthi is also on the target list in the US military campaign in the Middle East, according to the sheet The Hill March 16.
Opening attacks were involved by the US Air Force’s armed fighters and UAV aircraft from many bases in the region. In addition, the US Air Force also coordinated actions by deploying fighters from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the north of the red sea.
The US Central Command (Centcom) posted video clips on the official website showing F/A-18 Hornet fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman on the afternoon of March 15 (local time).
The goal of the latest US military campaign in the Middle East is to put pressure and disable Houthi’s attack capacity towards the red sea, reopening the maritime route that has been interrupted over the past time because of the bombardment from Houthi, the force is controlling the majority of Yemen territory.

Sheet The New York Times On March 15 quoted US officials saying the scale and level of campaign will depend on Houthi’s reaction.
In the past, US intelligence agencies had difficulty detecting and positioning where Houthi’s weapons systems were located. It is unclear whether the intelligence has improved at the time of the campaign was implemented.
US officials said the Houthi attack campaign was carried out after a series of high -level meetings at the White House during the week between President Trump and national security officials, including Vice President JD Vance; Foreign Minister Marco Rubio; National Security Advisor Michael Waltz; Defense Minister Pete Hegseth; and General Michael E. Kurilla, Commander of Centcom.
The White House owner signed a plan on March 14.
Some US national security assistants want to promote the campaign to the threshold that can eliminate Houthi’s control in the northern territory of Yemen. However, President Trump has not yet approved this strategy, according to the source of the sheet The New York Times.
