He says he’ll hold Iran responsible for the Yemen proxy’s actions.
President Donald Trump responded after the Houthis of Yemen claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks on two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea.
The president stated on Truth Social, “A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships. Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly.”
“Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night,” President Trump continued. “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the U.S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves, who I am very disappointed with in that they have, until now, acted very professionally and smart.”
The Houthis have threatened to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which is on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula from the Strait of Hormuz.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump to be led by the Lord in his decisions and actions.
- For the president and his advisors as they determine strategies to ensure the free movement of oil and commerce through Middle Eastern waters.
