US President Donald Trump warns Iran that it will be held responsible if the Houthis in Yemen continue to target Saudi shipping.
“A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships,” writes Trump on Truth Social. “Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly.”
“Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night,” he continues. “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the US will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves.”
The Iran-aligned Houthis said on Monday they were imposing a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, and fired on two Saudi oil tankers overnight.
