Trump Warns Iran of ‘Consequences’ Unless One of Its Proxies, the Houthis, Halts Its Red Sea Terrorism Campaign
‘The president is making a threat,’ an analyst tells the Sun, ‘and he has to be prepared to follow through on that threat if the Iranians and the Houthis keep defying him. He is not afraid to be direct and threatening in a way that President Biden was.’
President Trump, for the first time, is threatening the Islamic Republic of Iran with “consequences” for the ongoing aggression of one of its proxies, the Houthis of Yemen. The new threat, following significant military strikes in Yemen over the weekend, could shake up the region. Will it be followed through?
The president’s warning comes after a two-day campaign against Houthi targets. Now Mr. Trump is making clear that the Yemeni terrorist militia is intimately tied to Iran. The Islamic Republic, therefore, will “suffer consequences” for “every shot fired by the Houthis,” the president writes Monday on Truth Social.
