特朗普於年初批準了轟炸行動，希望迅速解決問題。到第31天，美軍仍未能壓製“安薩爾真主”組織的作戰能力並取得空中優勢。該組織繼續向紅海船隻開火，擊落多架美國MQ-9“死神”無人機（每架價值約3000萬美元），並迫使包括F-16和F-35在內的美軍飛機躲避先進的防空係統。

In those first 30 days, the Houthis shot down seven American MQ-9 drones (around $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s ability to track and strike the militant group. Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses, making real the possibility of American casualties, multiple U.S. officials said.
