Trump says that Iran will ‘suffer the consequences’ for further attacks of Houthhi – National

US President Donald Trump On Monday he explicitly linked procedures Yemen Houthi rebelled the main benefactor of the group, IranThe warning of Teheran that they will “suffer the consequences” for further group attacks.

Trump comments on his website of truth escalate his administration A new air strike campaign that targets the rebels, who killed at least 53 people this weekend. US officials said the strikes were conducted against more than 40 goals and more air strikes were planned in the coming days. Officials spoke on a condition of anonymity to discuss the details of military operations.

In the meantime, Iranians still measure how to react A letter Trump sent them last week Trying to jump negotiations about Tehran that quickly progresses the nuclear program.

Houthhi fans gathered in several cities after strikes Monday, promising revenge on America and Israel for blocking the help of Gaza after his war on Hamas. Houthis’ al-Masirah satellite newspaper channel put young boys in Air Live, who sang the slogan of the group: “God is the greatest; Death to America; Death to Israel; curse Jews; The victory of Islam. “

“The position of Yemen is an irreversible view (related to Gaza), so you do whatever you (Americans) want, because we are people who are not afraid of anyone but God,” said Mohammed Ali al-Houthhi, a houthi leader who spoke with demonstrations in the Yemeni capital, Sana.

The United Nations invited to stop all military activities in Yemen and the Red Sea, persuading the “biggest restraint” and warning that “any additional escalation could worsen regional tensions,” UN Deputy spokesman said Farhan Haq.

Describing Houthis as “malicious mafiars and robbers,” Trump warned that each group attacks would have been encountered with “great force and no guarantee that this force would stop there.”

“Iran played a” innocent sacrifice “of the terrorists from which they lost control but did not lose control,” Trump claimed in his post. “They dictate every move, give them weapons, supply them money and very sophisticated military equipment, and even so -called” intelligence. “

And in a distinct departure from the previous administration, Trump gave us the central command of the authority to initiate offensive hits against Houthis when he considers it appropriate.

The Bidana Administration required the approval of the White House to spend offensive strokes like those over the weekend. This made it possible for US forces to trigger defense attacks, including drawing weapons that seemed to be ready to shoot.

Delegating authority to the regional commander, said General Lieutenant Alex Grynkewich, director of the Communion Headquarters Operations, “allows us to achieve the pace of operations where we can respond to the possibilities we see on the battlefield to continue putting pressure on Houthis.” He added that it also allows the United States to hit a series of goals.

US officials said Trump made a decision last week.

Weekend strikes targeting the sites of the headquarters and the sites of drones, which at the time housed what the Pentagon identified as “key leaders” for the Houthis drone program, said Grynkewich.

Pentagon said there was no evidence that any civilians were killed in the attacks.

The Iranian ambassador to the United Nations provided strongly the Trump’s recent rhetoric on the Islamic Republic on Monday, saying that Trump and US officials make “reckless and provocative statements” and threatens to take revenge if those words turn to actions.

In a letter to the UN Security Council, Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani said his country “would defend his sovereignty, territorial integrity and national interests against international law against any hostile action.”

It is unclear that it has encouraged Trump’s post. However, the head of the Iranian paramilitary revolutionary Guard sought to separate Houthis’ actions from those in Tehran this weekend. Houthis also launched unmanned aircraft and rockets targeting USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, although none reached the ship until it continued flying in the region.

“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 added.

Houthi rebels attacked over 100 shopping boats with rockets and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, from November 2023 to January this year, when a truce began in Gaza. The campaign also largely raised the Houthis profile in the wider Arab world and collapsed on public criticism against their human rights and decaying violations for disagreement and auxiliary workers.

Houthis claimed that there were additional American air attacks overnight, although US officials did not immediately admit them.

In the Province of Saad, the Houthis stronghold, the rebels carried out a raid in a warehouse operated by the World Food Program. A member of the Yemeni -Exiled Government first reported that Houthis was taking supplies from the facility without the WFP permission after US air attacks. The United Nations agency later recognized Houtis’ associated press.

“WFP regrets the decision of the De Facto authorities to take away part of the goods,” it is said. “These goods were intended for the most vulnerable families who are insecure in food. Only WFP and his partners have the authority to distribute them and ensure that they reach intended recipients. “

Yemen, in the war since Houthis seized Sana in 2014, has been on over -starred for years. But in February, the UN suspended its business in Saada for security problems after the detention of dozens of UN workers in other last months. A day later, WFP announced that one of his employees had died while Houthhi closed him.
