Though touting himself as the peace president, President Donald Trump has also not been afraid to unleash lethal rocket strikes on U.S. enemies when he feels the need arises. In 2025, Trump ordered strikes on nine different countries and regions in the interest of furthering U.S. national security . Here are the countries, groups and regions that felt the power of the U.S. military in action this year. Throughout the year, the U.S. has continued to conduct airstrikes against ISIS factions and al-Shabaab in Somalia. According to a U.S. Africa Command statement, a Feb. 1 airstrike targeting a series of cave complexes in northern Somalia killed 14 ISIS-Somalia operatives , including Ahmed Maeleninine, a key ISIS recruiter, financier, and external operations leader responsible for deploying militants into the U.S. and across Europe. RUBIO IDENTIFIES 'SINGLE MOST SERIOUS THREAT' TO THE US FROM WESTERN HEMISPHERE Thousands of miles from U.S. sovereign territory, the Trump Department of War unleashed lethal strikes on Iran-backed Houthi terror fighters in Yemen as part of a mission dubbed "Operation Rough Rider." The strikes were in response to attacks against U.S. military and commercial vessels traveling through the Red Sea. Sean Parnell, a spokesperson for the Department of War, said in May that U.S. Central Command strikes had been carried out since March and that they had "hit over 1,000 targets, killing Houthi fighters and leaders and degrading their capabilities." Parnell called the strikes "hugely successful." On May 6, the Houthis agreed to a ceasefire with the U.S. and the fighters have not carried out any attacks on U.S. vessels since, though they have targeted ships from other nations. On March 13, U.S. Central Command carried out an airstrike in Iraq’s Al Anbar province that killed the number two ISIS leader, Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, and another ISIS operative.
