Trump: Iran to be held accountable for Houthis' attacks
Tensions escalated in the Red Sea after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to militaryly punish the Houthi group and Iran if they resumed attacks on commercial ships, following the targeting of two Saudi oil tankers by the Houthis using missiles and drones. Trump held Iran responsible for the attacks and threatened to impose severe military sanctions on Tehran and the Houthis, emphasizing that these attacks could lead the region into a serious escalation. In contrast, the Gulf Cooperation Council warned of the dangers of closing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and stressed the need for a firm international stance to ensure freedom of navigation and energy security, amid the rising military confrontations between Yemeni forces and the Houthis, along with ongoing regional and international escalation in the area.
