Trump Posts Video: ‘Houthis’ Gather for ‘Instructions,’ Seconds Later There’s Just a Crater Where They Stood
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 5, 2025 | C. Douglas Golden

A video posted to President Donald Trump’s social media platform Friday evening purports to show a strike on Houthi terrorists in Yemen, with the president implying the attack killed all of them.

The 25-second video, which was initially shared via his Truth Social account, is undated. However, as Fox News noted, the administration has been hitting the Iranian-backed rebels for the past 20 days.

The black-and-white footage shows a ring of individuals standing in a circle. Five seconds into it, a flash — apparently from an airstrike — can be seen.

The shot then zooms out to show the smoke plume, before zooming in to show a crater and the complete destruction of the scene.

Leader on smartphone: “Uh, could you guys spare a second to reply to my instruction message down there? It’s pretty rude to clam up.”

New Houthi TV ad.

Houthi Woman: You know, Yahia, I just heard Badreddin was one of the guys obliterated in the place that’s now only a crater. Left his widow without insurance.
We have life insurance for you, right, Yahia?

Uh, uh, well, no. I haven’t found a good affordable plan.

There’s a place on TV you can call and get up to 531 million rials insurance for only 5,300 rials a month without a medical exam.

I’d better call them.

Abdul was a hater.
About forgiveness he said “later.”

His enemy was no waiter.
His remains are now a crater.

Make sure you pay for the “acts of war” endorsement on the insurance policy… else the death will not be a covered loss.

How kind of President Trump to give those jihadis their 72 virgins early. Trump is a true humanitarian.

That looked like a JDAM strike.

...The Iran-backed Houthis have issued a security directive banning their leadership from holding meetings in a single location, citing heightened concerns over U.S. airstrikes and escalating internal rifts...

...Some leaders have significantly reinforced their personal security details, while others have completely replaced their protection teams under strict secrecy. These moves signal deepening mutual suspicion within the militia’s senior ranks.

The source emphasized that such measures reveal unprecedented levels of paranoia and disarray within the group, fueled by mounting casualties—particularly among its military leadership...

I just went and looked at JDAM pictures and it looks right. It comes from the lower left over the tree and flies over the circle.

Not oval?

The bomb is visible for about two frames of the video, to the right of where the crater appears. Might actually be the shadow of the bomb against the ground, tough to tell which.
