Trump Says Iran Will Be Held Responsible for Houthi Attacks on Shipping

US President Donald Trump has said Iran will be held responsible for any Houthi attacks targeting commercial shipping, accusing Tehran of backing the Yemen-based group.

Trump warned that any future assaults on international maritime traffic by the Houthis would be viewed as actions supported by Iran and would carry consequences.

The remarks come amid rising tensions in the Middle East and growing concerns over the security of key global shipping routes.

Iran has repeatedly denied directing Houthi military operations, while international efforts continue to prevent further escalation in the region.

The situation has prompted renewed calls from world leaders for restraint and diplomatic engagement to safeguard regional stability and global trade.

Analysts say Trump’s comments are likely to increase pressure on US-Iran relations while highlighting ongoing concerns over maritime security in the Red Sea.
