Donald Trump DOUBLES DOWN On Threats Against Iran and Yemen

The Houthis also resumed their direct military operations against Israel after the Israeli military broke a two-month ceasefire, killing hundreds of Palestinians this week.

The administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden also bombed Houthi positions in Yemen, but Washington’s campaign failed to stop the group from defending themselves.

In his social media post on Wednesday, Trump cited “reports” claiming that Iran is decreasing its support for the Houthis but is still “sending large levels of Supplies”.

“Iran must stop the sending of these Supplies IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote. “Let the Houthis fight it out themselves. Either way they lose, but this way they lose quickly.”

Trump previously threatened Iran with retaliation if it does not rein in the Houthis.

But Trump has portrayed the Houthis as an arm of the Iranian government.

“Every 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,” Trump wrote on social media on Saturday, when the latest U.S. bombing campaign started.

For their part, the Houthis have dismissed the US threats and airstrikes, vowing to continue their attacks until Israel ends its assault on Gaza.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm that the United States aggression will not deter the steadfast and struggling Yemen from fulfilling its religious, moral, and humanitarian duties toward the Palestinian people,” the group said in a statement on Tuesday.

“They affirm that they will escalate their military operations against the Zionist enemy unless the brutal aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.”

While most of the world sees the U.S. as a terrorist country, Donald Trump blacklisted the Houthis as a “foreign terrorist organization” in the early days of his presidency this year. The Joe Biden administration had labeled the group as “specially designated global terrorists” — a slightly lower designation that involves fewer restrictions.
