Trump warns Iran will be held 'responsible' for Houthi ship attacks

US President Donald Trump on Thursday warned that Iran will be held "responsible" for any Houthi attacks on shipping, describing the Yemen-based militia as a proxy of Tehran.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Houthis are a "Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran" and that any repeat of the attacks would draw "major military punishment" against both Tehran and the Houthis. He added he was "very disappointed" with the group, noting it had otherwise acted "professionally and smart" in the preceding year.
