US President Donald Trump warned that Iran would be held responsible for Houthi attacks on shipping, a stance he reiterated across Truth Social posts and in press coverage, describing the Houthis as a proxy of Iran and vowing major military punishment for any repeat strikes. He noted that the US had previously struck the Houthis “very powerfully” a year earlier for interference with commerce and trade, and lamented that the group had resumed attacks by targeting two Saudi ships. Trump asserted that the Houthis had acted responsibly since those U.S. actions but would face consequences if they persisted, urging accountability for Iran as well. The warnings followed reports of Houthi actions including blockades and attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi-linked vessels. The coverage across outlets emphasizes a concerted push to deter new attacks and to attribute responsibility to Iran for Houthi aggressions.
