Trump’s Statements: An Admission of Defeat and a Testament to American Failure
The criminal Trump continues to revel in arrogance, deluding himself into believing that his reckless rhetoric will yield results—regardless of his intended audience. He fails to grasp that Yemen has a leader and a people who see America as nothing more than a straw in the wind, having repeatedly affirmed their unwavering readiness to confront the foremost enemy of the ummah directly. After years of fierce battles against its proxies, Yemen has made it clear that its true confrontation is with the head of the snake itself.
With characteristic audacity, the criminal Trump announced that he had ordered the U.S. military to launch what he described as a “decisive” operation against what he termed “Houthi terrorists.” However, before engaging with his claims, it is worth reminding Trump of a fact he himself once admitted: the same military he now commands to wage war on Yemen was labeled by him as a “terrorist army” during the storming of the White House amid protests at the end of his first term. Perhaps that was one of the few times Trump ever spoke the truth. Now, this same military has unleashed dozens of airstrikes on densely populated civilian areas, slaughtering over 45 martyrs and injuring many others in Sana’a and Saada within just one hour.
Trump and the Indicators of Defeat
Trump has openly admitted what no other American official has dared to acknowledge—the scale of Yemen’s success in confronting U.S. forces. His statements have inadvertently confirmed Yemen’s central role in the battle, exposing the deception that Washington previously relied on to mask its failures and those of its allies. Until now, the U.S. had attempted to downplay Yemen’s impact, but Trump has now made it clear: over a year has passed since the last American ship sailed through Yemeni waters. This is nothing short of an official admission of the failure of the so-called “Operation Prosperity Guardian.”
Trump’s attempts to project strength through threats have only exposed weakness, and his efforts to showcase military dominance through airstrikes and aggression have instead highlighted American impotence. Between bluster and escalation, Trump has, knowingly or unknowingly, confessed to Washington’s failures. Today, the world knows the answer to a critical question: When was the last time a warship from the so-called most powerful naval force passed through the Red Sea unchallenged?
And when will Trump finally accept that Biden’s failure in Yemen was not a strategic choice, but an inevitable outcome dictated by Yemen’s relentless missile and drone strikes?
For those still attempting to downplay Yemen’s influence, Trump has provided the ultimate refutation. He explicitly admitted that the “Houthis” have choked global shipping in one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors, leading to the near-paralysis of major sectors of global trade. The pressing question for Trump is this: Where was “Operation Prosperity Guardian,” along with its formidable fleet of U.S. warships, for the past 15 months? Why have they failed to halt, or even mitigate, Yemen’s naval operations? Observers worldwide are well aware of this failure, a reality confirmed by repeated statements from major shipping companies detailing their massive financial losses after having to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope after the American-led coalition’s failure against the Yemeni Army. Adding to this testimony are the accounts of U.S. sailors who have described the sheer terror of confronting Yemen’s naval forces.
The Madness of Trump’s Assertions
Trump’s delusion reaches new heights with his claim that “no terrorist force will prevent American commercial and naval ships from freely sailing in global waterways.” What a bold assertion when the aircraft carrier he deployed to strike Yemen did not even return unscathed? Instead, it was struck by 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, in a coordinated operation carried out by Yemen’s missile forces, air force, and navy. This attack, which coincided with the peak of U.S. bombing campaigns, further underscores American failure—even in locating the launch sites of Yemeni missiles and drones. This glaring intelligence gap explains why U.S. airstrikes have overwhelmingly targeted civilian areas instead.
Intelligence Failure in Yemen
The magnitude of U.S. and Zionist intelligence failure is further reinforced by a report from the Zionist news site “Walla”, which openly admitted that “Israeli” intelligence has failed to build an effective target bank against the “Houthis.” The report added that the Zionist forces are now preparing for the possibility of direct Yemeni strikes on Israeli interests in the Red Sea, indicating that the Israeli enemy can no longer rely on U.S. naval support.
According to the report, Yemen’s navy operates in a swarm formation, granting it a tactical superiority that makes it exceptionally difficult for the U.S. fleet to counter. Additionally, Yemen’s missile capabilities have remained fully intact despite U.S. strikes. Additionally, missile stockpiles have been transferred to fortified underground locations, rendering the American target bank both ineffective and outdated.
While “Tel Aviv” scrambles to downplay the Yemeni threat, the Zionist enemy’s security establishment is gripped with anxiety. The report highlights that Yemen’s drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles have repeatedly penetrated the enemy’s multi-layered air defense systems. This was demonstrated in past strikes on occupied Umm ar-Rashrash where projectiles successfully bypassed both the “Iron Dome” and “David’s Sling” systems. Such incidents serve as yet another damning indictment of the Zionist enemy’s failing air defense strategy in the face of Yemen’s advanced military capabilities.
The White House Admits: The Red Sea Is Not Safe
Even as Trump makes his grandiose proclamations, the “Pentagon” has officially acknowledged the failure of America’s aggression to break Yemen’s resolve. A recent report confirmed that the Yemeni Navy’s strategic operations have nearly paralyzed shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, forcing American and British vessels to divert their routes at immense costs.
A Pentagon report dated March 15, 2025, revealed that the number of commercial ships traversing the Red Sea annually has plummeted from 25,000 before Yemen’s operations began in 2023 to just 10,000—a collapse that has triggered a global supply chain crisis. The report further admitted that the U.S. and its allies have been powerless to protect their vessels, forcing 75% of them to reroute around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope—adding over ten days to shipping times and inflating costs by an average of one million dollars per voyage.
The scale of Yemen’s offensive operations against U.S. warships was also exposed. The report disclosed that Yemen has successfully executed 174 attacks on U.S. military vessels alone, alongside 145 additional strikes targeting commercial ships supporting the Zionist enemy. The Pentagon conceded that American defenses have been unable to thwart these escalating attacks. Among the documented incidents were the successful targeting of the U.S. ship “Gibraltar Eagle” on January 15, 2024, and the drone strike on “Jinko Picardy” in the Gulf of Aden on January 17.
The Red Sea: Now Under Complete Yemeni Control
If Trump remains oblivious to the fact that Yemen’s 2,500-kilometer coastline along the Red Sea and Arabian Sea is now entirely free of American presence, then that is his problem. He must understand that this absence is not due to some newfound restraint but to Washington’s utter inability.
The American maritime news platform “gCaptain” published a report confirming that “the Suez Canal is effectively off-limits to U.S. commercial ships or vessels linked to Israel’s allies due to continued attacks by the Houthis.” The report stated that these attacks have fundamentally altered the dynamics of one of the world’s most critical waterways, compelling Trump to declare further escalation.
Trump’s public frustration over America’s loss of control in the Red Sea underscores a larger reality: the United States no longer dictates terms in this strategic corridor. Whether Washington can reassert dominance, or whether the situation has passed the point of no return, remains an open question.
Ultimately, the U.S. holds no viable options to win its war in Yemen. Airstrikes have never secured victory—whether during Operation al-Aqsa Flood with over a thousand raids or during the U.S.-Saudi aggression with more than 250,000. The Pentagon has repeatedly ruled out a ground invasion due to its exorbitant costs. Diplomatic and economic pressure has also proven fruitless. So, what miraculous solution does Trump believe he possesses that will force Yemen’s people—firm in their faith and resistance—to abandon their struggle for Palestine?
