Trump accused Iran of organizing the Houthi attacks and threatened a harsh response.

US President Donald Trump has accused Iran of orchestrating many of the attacks carried out by the Yemeni Houthis and threatened harsh retaliatory measures. He expressed the corresponding opinion on March 17 on the Truth Social social network.

"Let no one be mistaken! Hundreds of attacks carried out by the Houthis, sinister bandits and thugs based in Yemen who are hated by the Yemeni people, originate from Iran and were created by it," the American leader wrote.

He also threatened that any new Houthi attack would be met with a harsh response, and hinted that retaliatory measures "may not end there."

"From now on, every shot fired by the Houthis will be considered as a shot fired from Iran's weapons and under its leadership. Iran will be responsible and will face serious consequences," Trump added.
