US President Donald Trump said today, Monday, that Iran will bear the responsibility of every fire shot by the Houthis in Yemen, who are launching attacks on Israeli commercial ships off the coast of Yemen since the war began on Gaza. “We will consider every Houthi shooting, starting from now, fires fired by Iranian weapons and officials in Iran. Iran will bear responsibility, and this will have terrible consequences,” said US President on his social platform, Truth Suchal.
Trump added that “hundreds of attacks carried out by the Houthis and the evil mafia stationed in Yemen, whom the Yemeni people hate, start from Iran and are planning Iran.” He explained that Tehran dictates the Houthis the simplest “instructions and directions”, and secures them “weapons, money and advanced military equipment, and even the so -called intelligence.”
The American strikes that targeted the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and other Houthi -controlled areas, have killed dozens during the past hours. In response, the Houthis claimed their responsibility for two separate attacks on the US US aircraft carrier in the Red Sea on Sunday and Monday, using ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in addition to marches. The United States did not confirm these two attacks.
Since Saturday evening, American warplanes have continued their violent raids on cities and locations in Yemen, which led to the fall of dozens of victims, including women and children, the destruction of residential buildings and the power outages in some areas, while Washington announced that it had informed some allies regarding US military operations in Yemen, after Trump decided to take this step during a series of high -level meetings in the White House this week with his senior security assistants National.
These raids are the first to be launched by the new American administration since Trump’s arrival in power in his second term last January. On Saturday, Trump had carried out a “decisive and strong” military strike against the Houthis in Yemen, and Trump said on the Truth Suusal platform: “Today, the American army ordered a decisive and strong military operation on the Houthi terrorists in Yemen,” adding that the Houthis “launched a continuous campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism on American ships, aircraft, cars, and others.”
