Donald Trump launches strikes against Yemen's Houthis

US President Donald Trump has launched strikes against the Houthis in Yemen.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, he also warned Iran the country's support for the group must "end immediately".

Mr Trump said the strikes were over the Houthi's attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

"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," he said.

The president said if Iran threatened the US, "America will hold you fully accountable and, we won't be nice about it!"
