On April 4, 2025, President Trump shared a video on social media, claiming it depicted a gathering of Houthis planning an attack, which he suggested had been thwarted. However, multiple social media users have contested this claim, asserting that the video actually showed a Yemeni tribal gathering celebrating Eid al-Fitr. These users have labeled the incident as a potential war crime, accusing Trump of misrepresenting the event and celebrating the deaths of civilians. No official statements or clarifications from Trump or his representatives regarding the video have been reported as of April 6, 2025.
