Trump warns Iran will be ‘held responsible’ for Houthi attacks from Yemen
Al Jazeera
The US president has threatened Iran, while the Pentagon vows ‘overwhelming lethal force’ against the Houthis in Yemen.
United States President Donald Trump has threatened to hold Iran responsible for any attacks carried out by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, in an escalation of his pressure campaign against the government in Tehran.
The Republican leader issued the warning on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday, signing the post with his name.
“Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN,” Trump wrote.
“Any further attack or retaliation by the ‘Houthis’ will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there.”
The Houthis have led a series of attacks against Israeli vessels and other commercial ships in the Red Sea, in protest against Israel’s war in Gaza and its blockade of humanitarian supplies into the Palestinian territory.
