US president tells Houthis ‘hell will rain down’ if Red Sea attacks continue and issues warning to Iran
Following US strikes in Yemen that killed 31, the Houthis declared their readiness to escalate in response. The strikes, prompted by Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, drew condemnation from Iran and Russia. Trump warned Iran and threatened further action if attacks continued. Russia called for a halt to the strikes and political dialogue. The US strikes targeted sites in Sanaa and Taiz, reportedly killing mainly women and children. The Houthis claim the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
