Iran-backed Houthi forces attack ships in the Red Sea, firing on two oil tankers, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The incidents occur amid heightened tensions in the region’s key shipping routes. At the same time, US President Donald Trump reiterates a warning directed at Iran, saying that any further attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz would be met with US strikes.
Across the sources, Trump’s stated threat includes targeting Iran-related infrastructure, specifically mentioning “bridges” and “power plants” as potential US strike aims if attacks continue. The outlets describe the Houthi actions as part of a broader pattern of disruptions affecting maritime traffic near major chokepoints.
The accounts are consistent on the core elements: Houthi forces fire on two oil tankers in the Red Sea, and the US president repeats a warning to Iran over additional attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, with the emphasis on possible US military responses focused on infrastructure. No additional details beyond these points are provided in the supplied excerpts.
