President Donald Trump says the United States will hold Iran responsible for any future attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on ships transiting the Red Sea. The remarks follow what the outlets describe as a Houthi strike on two Saudi Arabian ships. Trump links the Houthis’ actions to Iran, saying the group operates as a surrogate or proxy for Tehran. He also states that the US previously took military action against the Houthis “very powerfully” about a year ago, tied to their interference with commerce and trade, including shooting at ships. In a post on Truth Social, Trump characterizes Iran as accountable for renewed Houthi activity and says the US would impose “punishment” on Iran, with consequences also for the Houthis. While the reports summarize a common warning and the immediate trigger of the Saudi-related incident, they do not include additional details on the operational response or timing beyond the threat of future consequences.
