The U.S. air campaign against Yemen, launched on March 15, 2025, targeting Ansar Allah (Houthis) strongholds, validates the predictive political method developed by the International Center for Geopolitical and Economic Research. This approach, created by center president Dr. Mohammad Walid Youssef, had already anticipated this scenario in a study published on January 19, 2024, titled \u201cPakistan, Iran, and The Signs of A Sweeping War: The Battlefield as Arbiter,\u201d over a year earlier.
In the study, Dr. Youssef stated: \u201cThe Houthis\u2019 renewed threat to attack oil production sites in Gulf countries could rekindle the Yemen conflict in a new form that was previously unseen. Saudi Arabia and the UAE had long complained that the United States limited their efforts against Sana\u2019a and Houthi-controlled areas, preventing a decisive victory. In 2019, the Stockholm Agreement was signed, which halted Hodeidah from falling to Emirati forces and the Giants Brigades, and prevented the total collapse of Houthi forces there, leading to the UAE\u2019s decision to withdraw from the Yemen conflict.\u201d
He also noted that the threat posed by the Houthis to maritime navigation in the Red Sea prompted the creation of the \u2018Prosperity Guardian\u2019 campaign led by the U.S. This campaign may expand to include additional strategic objectives if the Houthis escalate their actions against international trade or target U.S. military assets in the region. In such a case, \u2018Prosperity Guardian\u2019 will shift to a different strategic phase, supporting Gulf countries and Yemeni forces in Aden, to renew efforts against the Houthis and secure a decisive defeat.
President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that he ordered the United States military to launch “decisive and powerful military action” against the Houthis in Yemen. “They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American and other ships, aircraft, and drones,” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on March 15. “We will use overwhelming lethal force until we have achieved our objective.”
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth likewise announced that the United States would carry out \u201crelentless\u201d strikes against the Houthis in Yemen until they cease their military operations targeting U.S. assets and global shipping.
On March 17, 2025, the Ansar Allah movement announced that it had conducted two attacks within 24 hours against the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its escort ships in the northern Red Sea.
The movement had earlier announced on March 12, 2025, that it would resume attacks on Israeli ships in the Red Sea and even the Arabian Sea unless the crossings into the Gaza Strip were reopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
