特朗普于年初批准了轰炸行动，希望迅速解决问题。到第31天，美军仍未能压制“安萨尔真主”组织的作战能力并取得空中优势。该组织继续向红海船只开火，击落多架美国MQ-9“死神”无人机（每架价值约3000万美元），并迫使包括F-16和F-35在内的美军飞机躲避先进的防空系统。

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.
