Iran and Houthis among banks targeted as Bab al-Mandab figures in U S retaliation plans
The article focused on U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of threats to Iran and the Houthis with a "large military retaliation" following recent attacks on navigation in the Red Sea, especially near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. It confirmed that the Trump administration is moving toward expanding its response to include targets within Iranian territory, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, if Houthi attacks continue, holding Iran directly accountable for activities linked to the Guard outside its borders. Sources indicated that the American escalation is not limited to operations in Yemen but also involves imposing financial costs on Iran by targeting frozen Iranian assets and turning any assaults into factors affecting targets inside Iran itself. This approach aims to reduce the Iranian regime's ability to separate its external operations from its internal conduct, which could lead to a diminished negotiating position for Tehran on the international stage.
