The United States President, Donald Trump, has warned that Iran would be held responsible and could face "major military punishment" if Yemen's Houthi movement resumes attacks on commercial vessels, accusing the group of acting as a proxy for Tehran.
Trump issued the warning in a statement posted on his Truth Social account on Thursday following reports that two Saudi Arabian ships were targeted the previous night.
The US President said the Houthis had largely refrained from disrupting maritime trade after a major American military operation against the group a year ago but alleged that the recent attacks signaled a renewed threat to international shipping.
"A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships," Trump said.
