Trump vows consequences for Iran’s role in Houthi violence

U.S. President Donald Trump has explicitly linked the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor, Iran. He’s warning Tehran that it would “suffer the consequences” for further attacks by the group. The comments Monday by Trump on his Truth social website further escalate his administration’s new campaign of airstrikes targeting the rebels, which killed at least 53 people this weekend alone and appears poised to continue. Meanwhile, Iran continues to weigh how to respond to a letter Trump sent them last week, attempting to jump-start negotiations over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program.
