Trump Posts Yemen Strike Video Like It’s a Highlight Reel—Now People Are Asking If Those “Targets” Were Actually Just Celebrating Eid

Oops? Or oops with war crimes?

President Trump, never one to let facts get in the way of a good missile moment, posted what he claimed was a successful U.S. strike on Houthi militants in Yemen. He captioned it like a movie trailer:

“These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops. They will never sink our ships again.”

But hold up—analysts and actual humans with eyes noticed something off:

The group of people in the video? Standing in a neat rectangle.

That’s not exactly Marine Corps standard formation—but it is eerily similar to how Yemeni tribes gather during Eid celebrations.

You know, Eid? The religious holiday? The one marking the end of Ramadan where families gather, pray, and not launch attacks on American warships?

Here’s the kicker:

Nobody—not the public, not journalists, not independent observers—has access to the pattern of life intel that would tell us if this group was coming back from drone duty or just hanging out after fasting.

So, to summarize:

They could’ve been militants regrouping after an attack.

Or they could’ve been a bunch of dads and uncles in traditional garb saying “Eid Mubarak.”

And Trump shared it like it’s Call of Duty DLC.

But hey, who needs context when you’ve got clicks, chaos, and campaign points to score?

This is the problem when war footage is treated like social media content.

One minute you’re “owning the enemy,” the next you’re potentially livestreaming civilian casualties.

And the most unsettling part?

Nobody seems too interested in finding out the truth.

Because verifying whether these people were militants or civilians is less useful than just letting the ambiguity fuel the next news cycle.
