Houthi rebels in Yemen posted an animation online that depicted American flag-draped coffins floating near destroyed Navy ships.
« These terrorists really cannot tell the difference between delusions and reality, » Hussain Abdul-Hussain, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), said in a post on X along with the Houthi animation.
The animation starts out with somber music and depicts a coffin draped in an American flag floating in water, then slowly zooms out to reveal dozens of similar flag-draped coffins floating away from destroyed warships.
TRUMP ANNOUNCES ‘DECISIVE AND POWERFUL’ AIRSTRIKES AGAINST HOUTHI TERRORISTS IN YEMEN
The animation comes after President Donald Trump ordered « decisive and powerful » airstrikes against Houthi terrorists in Yemen on Saturday, arguing on Truth Social that the group has « waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones. »
« It has been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden, » Trump said in the post. « The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times…. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk. »
« To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE! »
The White House on Sunday released photos of Trump watching the strikes on the Iran-backed terrorist group along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security advisor Mike Waltz.

« President Trump is taking action against the Houthis to defend US shipping assets and deter terrorist threats, » the White House wrote in a post on X. « For too long American economic & national threats have been under assault by the Houthis. Not under this presidency. »
U.S. Central Command said in a statement Saturday that it « initiated a series of operations consisting of precision strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets across Yemen to defend American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation. »
Meanwhile, the Houthi-run Health Ministry in Yemen told the Associated Press that the strikes killed at least 31 people.
