Trump warns Iran and threatens the Houthis with being “annihilated” if the attacks do not cease

US President Donald Trump warned on Wednesday that Iran must completely and immediately cease its support for the Houthis, not just reduce it, and threatened the latter that they will be “completely annihilated” if the attacks do not cease.

The Republican leader estimated on his social network, Truth Social, that “tremendous damage” has already been inflicted on the Houthis and stressed that “the situation will progressively worsen.”

“It’s not even a fair fight and it never will be. They will be completely annihilated!” he said.

Trump added that although “there is news that, although Iran has decreased its intensity in the supply of military equipment and general support to the Houthis, it continues to send large amounts of supplies.”

“Iran must stop sending these supplies IMMEDIATELY. Let the Houthis manage on their own,” he said.

The United States launched a series of airstrikes over the weekend against different cities controlled by Houthi Shiite rebels in northern and central Yemen, as well as in the capital, Saná.

Those bombings, which according to the insurgents have left fifty dead, were ordered by Trump to stop the threat and attacks by the Houthis against navigation and international trade in the Red and Arabian Seas.

The Yemeni rebels, backed by Iran, had announced last week that they would resume their military operations on those maritime routes against Israeli or state-linked Israeli ships in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Trump, whose Administration classifies these Shiite rebels as a terrorist group, has recently promised them “hell” if they do not stop threatening international navigation, while the Executive insists that they will continue to attack the Houthis until maritime attacks cease.

The US government offered on Wednesday a reward of up to 15 million dollars for information that leads to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC) and its different branches, including the Quds Force, its outer arm.

The State Department indicated in a statement that the IRGC has financed numerous attacks and terrorist activities worldwide, including through its external allies such as Hamas, Hezbulah and Iranian-backed militias in Iraq.

According to his note, he finances his terrorist activities in part through the sale of military equipment, including drones.

Washington targeted four Chinese citizens for allegedly supporting the production and sale of IRGC weapons through the illegal acquisition and delivery to Iran of US-controlled dual-use technology for export.

They are Liu Baoxia, Li Yongxin, Yung Yiu Wa and Zhong Yanlai, also known, respectively, as Emily Liu, Emma Lee, Stephen Yung and Sydney Chung.

The State Department indicated that since May 2007 Liu and his associates have used various front companies in China to send dual-use electronic components of American origin to companies linked to the IRGC that could be used in the production of drones, ballistic missile systems and other military uses.

The US Executive pointed out that the IRGC and MODAFL, a logistics branch of the Iranian Ministry of Defense, have used the technology controlled by the United States to develop and manufacture weapons and weapons systems that are sold to governments and groups of allied countries such as Russia, Sudan and Yemen.

MPV Denounces Electoral Blockade as Secretary-General is Disqualified for May Elections

The anti-Chavista party Movement for Venezuela (MPV) denounced on Monday that it was “prevented” from submitting its candidates for the regional and legislative elections on May 25, elections rejected by opposition leaders Edmundo González Urrutia and María Corina Machado.

“MPV, being an active and recognized party in the National Electoral Council (CNE), was prevented from submitting candidates for the current electoral process,” stated the political group through a communiqué on X.

Additionally, the group denounced that its Secretary-General, Simón Calzadilla, was “suddenly disqualified,” as the opposition leader warned last Friday. He also explained that he attempted to access the CNE’s automated candidate submission system but, as he added, the portal showed that he was not authorized to create a user and submit the MPV candidates.

For the party, its “strong decision” to participate in the May elections “highlighted the true nature of this electoral process,” which it described as “extremely flawed.”

Venezuela accuses Guyana of “warlike intentions” after UK defense deal

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez denounced what she called “warlike intentions” from Guyana on Saturday (April 12, 2025), following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Guyana and the United Kingdom aimed at strengthening bilateral defense cooperation.

“Guyana threatens Venezuela with its founding fathers. The UK and the U.S. are the architects behind the territorial dispossession of our Guayana Esequiba. These are the same actors who forged a fraudulent arbitration award in 1899 to strip Venezuela of its land,” Rodríguez stated via Telegram.

Rodríguez, who also serves as Venezuela’s Minister of Hydrocarbons, warned the region about “these drums of war, in clear violation of the CELAC declaration that recognizes Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.”

“Venezuela will stand firm in defending its legitimate rights, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in all scenarios,” she added.
