Trump Warns Iran of ‘Consequences’ Unless One of Its Proxies, the Houthis, Halts Its Red Sea Terrorism Campaign

President Trump, for the first time, is threatening the Islamic Republic of Iran with “consequences” for the ongoing aggression of one of its proxies, the Houthis of Yemen. “This is a form of coercive diplomacy,” the United Against Nuclear Iran policy director, Jason Brodsky, tells the Sun. “The president is making a threat, and he has to be prepared to follow through on that threat if the Iranians and the Houthis keep defying him. He is not afraid to be direct and threatening in a way that President Biden was.”
