"IRAN SHOULD TAKE TRUMP SERIOUSLY"
In a statement, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt emphasized that the threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump towards Iran should be taken seriously. Leavitt referred to Trump's threats against Iran, saying, "Our message to Iran is that you should take this president seriously."
"WE WILL NOT TOLERATE"
Referring to the U.S. attacks on Yemen, Leavitt stated, "I think the Houthis learned over the weekend that there is a new sheriff in town. This president will not sit idly by and allow terrorists to attack commercial ships and vessels belonging to the U.S. Navy. He will not tolerate such actions."
TRUMP'S YEMEN ORDER
The Houthis announced on March 7 that they had given Israel a 4-day ultimatum to allow aid into Gaza, otherwise they would resume maritime operations against Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump announced on March 15 via his Truth Social platform that he had instructed the military to launch a "major attack" against the Houthis in Yemen.
The leader of the Houthis, Abdulmalik al-Houthi, stated that U.S. aircraft and warships would be targets for the Houthis, indicating that as long as they continued their attacks, the disruptions to maritime operations would also affect Washington. Iran-backed Houthis reported that 53 people were killed and 98 injured in airstrikes conducted by the U.S. and the UK in several cities, including the capital Sana'a.
