# U.S. President Donald Trump launched large-scale military strikes against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis yesterday over the group’s attacks against Red Sea shipping, killing at least 31 people at the start of a campaign expected to last many days. Trump also warned Iran, the Houthis’ main backer, that it needed to immediately halt support for the group. The unfolding strikes – which one U.S. official told Reuters might continue for weeks – represent the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office in January.
