Trump warns that Iran will be “responsible” for Houtho attacks from Yemen | News Donald Trump

The President of the United States Donald Trump threatened that Iran would be responsible for any attacks performed by Houthhi rebels in Yemen, in the escalation of his pressure against the Government in Tehran.

A Republican leader issued a warning on his social media platform on Monday, signing a post with his name.

“Nobody is fooled! Hundreds of attacks carried out by Houthhi, vicious mafiars and robbers based in Yemen, who have hated the Yemeni people, all stem from Iran, “Trump wrote.

“Any further attack or retaliation by ‘Houthis’ will be welcomed with great force, and there is no guarantee that this force will stop there. “

Houthis led a series of attacks on Israeli vessels and other commercial ships in the Red Sea, in protest against the war of Israel in Gaza and his blockade of humanitarian stocks in Palestinian territory.

Experts broadly admit that Iran helps armed Houthis, which are considered informal “OSA resistance“Supported by Iran.

While Trump has previously pushed Iran to end his support to Houthis, his remarks signal a significant escalation on Monday – hint at the potential military action against Iran himself.

“Every shot that fired Houthis, from this point forward, will observe as a shot from weapons and leadership of Iran, and Iran will be responsible and suffered the consequences, and these consequences will be difficult!” Trump wrote in his post.

Comments arrive at a sensitive time diplomatically for Trump and his colleagues in Iran.

Trump pushed Iran to Denuclearise – although in 2018, during his first term in the White House, the President withdrew the US from a common comprehensive action plan (JCPOA), an agreement that would see Iran reduce its nuclear ambitions in exchange for relief of sanctions.

Earlier this month, Trump sent a letter to the Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warning that now they could answer “military” if the nuclear agreement is not reached.

But Khamenei refused Trump’s attempts to negotiate, rejecting him like “mistreatment“And pointing out the fact that Trump has erupted a previous agreement.

Iran consistently said that its nuclear program was for a civilian purpose, and denied the search for nuclear weapons.

At the same time, Trump stepped up The attacks of us At Houthis, after the armed group warned last week that she would strive to ban Israeli ships from nearby waterways.

“Any Israeli ship trying to violate this ban will be subject to military targeting in the proclaimed operating area,” Houthis states.

The rebels signaled that the ban was created from the blockade that Israel was imposed by Gazi, preventing humanitarian supplies from entering the territory of the war of March 2.

Israel, however, is a longtime US ally, and Trump answered on Saturday to the threats of Houthis one of his own.

“Today, I ordered the United States to launch a decisive and powerful military action against the terrorist Houthhi in Yemen,” Trump wrote over the weekend, launching a 24-hour period of intense bombing in Yemen.

From Saturday to Sunday, they now spent about 47 air strikes, hitting seven Jemen provinces and killing about 53 people. The Yemeni capital of Sane, controlled by Houthis, was among the affected areas.

Announcing the weekend attacks, Trump also warned Iran of his support for Houthis.

“Iran: Support for Houthhi terrorists must end immediately! They do not threaten the American people, their president, who received one of the greatest seats in the presidential history or the world’s shipping tape, “he wrote.

“If you do this, beware, because America will answer you completely and, we will not be nice about that!”

Houthi have attacked almost 100 vessels in the region since November 2023, sinking two, and Trump is not the first president to attack Houthho goals.

Trump’s predecessor, Democratic President Joe Biden, also ordered More circles of attacks in areas under the control of Houthho in Yemen.

But Biden and his administration described attacks such as designed to disrupt Houthis’ military skills, and they firmly denied that they wanted to escalate violence. “We don’t want to see the regional war,” spokeswoman Pentagon Sabrina Singh said 2024.

Trump, however, rejected Biden’s effort against Houthis as “pathetic weak.” He and Biden were rivals in the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost.

In the meantime, Houthhi promised to respond to Trump’s attacks. “We will face escalation with escalation,” their leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthhi said on Sunday.

Already the group claimed she had made retaliation Against the American naval vessel.

Colin Clarke-Director of research for Soufan Group, a consulting company, ”Al Jazeera said that Trump seemed to be all fierce rhetoric in opposition to some of his rhetoric rhetoric.

Running for the second term of 2024, Trump has committed himself to bring peace to the Middle East and withdraw now from foreign wars.

“Look, Trump talked infinitely about withdrawing from the Middle East. He doesn’t want to dance to foreign wars,” Clarke said. “So, it is interesting that he escalates these kinetic strokes, really as a signal directly to the leadership in Tehran.”

Clarke added that Houtis strikes can be a method of Trump to force Iran to nuclear negotiations.

“Trump hopes to attract Ayatolah’s attention with this and hopes to use these strikes and potentially more in the coming days and weeks to push the Iranians closer to the table.”
