Trump holds Iran ‘responsible’ for Houthi attacks
US President Donald Trump warned that Iran will be held 'responsible' for any Houthi attacks on shipping, labeling the Yemen-based militia as a proxy of Tehran. Trump stated that any repeat of such attacks would result in 'major military punishment' against both Iran and the Houthis, expressing disappointment in the group's recent actions. The warning follows Houthi claims of targeting two Saudi oil tankers, prompting vessels to reroute away from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait due to increased threats.
