Just In: Trump rages ‘every shot fired by Houthis will be treated as fired by IRAN’ in furious threat after US warship attacked…..See More

DONALD Trump threatened to hold Iran accountable for “every shot” the Houthis fired just hours after a US warship was attacked in the Red Sea.

The Houthi rebels – Iran’s major proxy terror group – claimed to have twice attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships within 24 hours.

They vowed to strike any American ships that come within the 1,000 miles of Yemen’s coast after Trump began his “unrelenting” campaign of airstrikes.

The terror group has also announced a ban on all US vessels from passing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, southern Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and Gulf of Aden.

In response, Trump today said that he will hold Iran directly responsible for any future attacks by Houthi rebels.

He wrote in a post on the Trust Social: “Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences.

Trump even appeared to threaten strikes on Iran, saying the regime has long played “the innocent victim”.

The president blasted: “Any further attack or retaliation by the Houthis will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there.

“Iran has played ‘the innocent victim’ of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control.”
