The president of the United States, Donald Trump, declared on Monday that he will directly hold Iran for any future attacks of the Hutis rebels of Yemen, who have attacked multiple US ships and other foreign ships in the Red Sea.
“Each shot fired by the hutis will be analyzed, from this moment, as a shot of the weapons and leadership of Iran, and Iran will be responsible and will suffer the consequences,” Trump published on his real social platform.
Although the United States has carried out strikes about Houthi’s objectives for months, Trump’s comments were unusually indicated with Iran, who is also pressing on nuclear conversations.
He spoke after the first US attacks about Yemen of his new term killed 53 people and wounded 98 on Saturday.
In response, the Hutis demanded two attacks on a United States carrier and gathered thousands of protests in Yemen parts under their control.
The United States hit the Hutis for their repeated attacks against the shipping ships of the Red Sea, which have exerted great pressure on the vital commercial route. The Hutis have said that they are carrying out attacks in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel is fighting a military campaign with the support of the United States.
“Any additional attack or retaliation by the ‘Hutíes’ will meet great force,” Trump also in his position, added that “Iran has played ‘the innocent victim'” in the conflict.
Before the orientation of this weekend to the group of US carriers. UU., The hutis had not claimed attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since January 19, when a fire in Gaza began a stop.
Trump, who was running for a second period of the White House based on avoiding greater participation in the Middle East conflict, has also requested a new nuclear agreement with Iran while restoring its policy of “maximum pressure” sanctions.
