The American Communist Party unequivocally condemns the US regime’s recent airstrikes in Yemen, which have resulted in significant civilian casualties, including women and children. These attacks, purportedly targeting the Ansar Allah-led government in Yemen, have instead devastated civilian areas, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region.

In a particularly heinous incident, a U.S. airstrike targeted a group of people standing in a circle, an act that President Trump callously boasted about on social media, claiming they were militants planning attacks on commercial vessels. However, reports from the ground indicate that the gathering was most likely a civilian one, raising serious concerns about the accuracy of U.S. intelligence and the reckless use of military force.

Such actions constitute blatant war crimes and sharply contradict the anti-war promises Trump made during his campaign, where he assured the American people that he would end the long-standing policy of worldwide military aggression. The Party calls for an immediate cessation of these criminal acts and demands justice for all civilians victimized by these blatant atrocities. The Party salutes the steadfastness, resilience, and bravery of the Yemeni people in the face of relentless Zionist warmongering.

This act is a betrayal of the mandate upon which Trump was elected. The overwhelming majority of the US population rejects adventurist, endless wars, which have consistently ended in disaster, national humiliation, and international shame. The Party calls upon all independent-minded Americans to unite against the imperialist policy of bloody war and mass-murder.

The Yemeni people now fight courageously to resist the Zionist war-machine. The damages this causes to international trade pale in comparison to recent economic policies by the Trump administration itself.

Just as Americans have the right to sacrifice international trade relations for the sake of American independence, so too do the people of Yemen have the right to defend the regional sovereignty of their people against an ongoing genocide.
