\u201cEvery shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s threats echo his administration\u2019s recent efforts to crack down on the militant group\u2019s attacks on U.S. warships and assert dominance over Iran. The president announced over the weekend that the U.S. launched a new campaign of airstrikes <\/a>against multiple targets controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen \u2014 the greatest use of military force against foreign adversaries by the administration yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny further attack or retaliation by the ‘Houthis’ will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Houthis have been targeting military and commercial shipping in the Red Sea for the past two years, effectively shuttering a crucial waterway for global commercial trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, Mike Waltz, Trump\u2019s national security adviser, did not dismiss the possibility of using military coercion against Iran <\/a>in either retaliation against the country\u2019s backing of the Houthis or its ambitions to become a nuclear power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
