Sana’a – Mohammed Al-Houthi, a senior Houthi leader, issued a direct challenge to the U.S. President Donald Trump before hundreds of thousands of Yemenis who rallied in the capital Sana’a on Monday, responding to a call from Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.

Speaking to the massive crowd, Al-Houthi declared, “You have failed!”, in response to recent U.S. airstrikes targeting Houthi positions across Yemen.

Escalating U.S.-Houthi Tensions

This escalation comes amid rising tensions between the United States and the Houthis, following a series of American airstrikes over the past two days that hit multiple Houthi-controlled sites.

Al-Houthi’s statement reflects defiance against Washington’s policies, emphasizing the Houthis’ determination to stand firm despite growing international pressure.
