NNA - US President Donald Trump warned the Houthis and Iran on Monday that "greater things are coming," according to Sky News Arabia.

Trump said that "US attacks will continue until the Houthis no longer pose a threat to freedom of navigation," adding, "The strikes over the past two weeks have destroyed the Houthis."

Trump added in a post on Truth Social: "The choice before the Houthis is clear: Stop shooting at American ships, and we will stop shooting at you. Otherwise, we are only just beginning, and the real pain is yet to come... for both the Houthis and their patrons in Iran."

For days, the United States has been leading a military operation against the Houthi group, following the latter's announcement that it would resume the ban on Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and Bab al-Mandab, in response to "the renewed Israeli aggression against Gaza."

Following the outbreak of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the Houthis launched dozens of drone and missile attacks on ships transiting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, claiming they were in solidarity with the Palestinians.

In contrast, the United States, Britain, and Israel launched military operations against targets in Yemen more than once during the term of former US President Joe Biden.
