U.S. President Donald Trump says he is disappointed with the Houthis, a Yemen-based faction he describes as backed by Iran, after they fire on ships in the Red Sea. Trump specifically cites an attack on two Saudi oil tankers and says the United States will respond if similar attacks occur again. In his remarks, Trump warns that the Houthis would face “major military punishment” and that Iran would be held responsible for any renewed Houthi attacks. Multiple outlets report that Trump frames the issue as responsibility reaching beyond the Houthis to their “Tehran sponsors,” signaling that any further strikes would prompt U.S. action directed at both the militants and Iran. While the sources provide consistent accounts of the warning and the stated U.S. intent to punish, they do not add detailed information about specific timing, targets, or the nature of the promised military measures. The statements are presented as a threat of retaliation tied to future Red Sea activity.
