U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 23 that Washington would hold Iran responsible and impose severe military sanctions on both Iran and the Houthis if the group attacks ships again. In a post, Trump said the United States had struck the Houthis with force a year ago because they disrupted commercial trade and fired on vessels. He added that since then, especially during the U.S. conflict with Iran, the Houthis had acted "very responsibly." Trump said that changed last night, when the Houthis allegedly opened fire on two Saudi Arabian ships. He also said he was "very disappointed" with the Houthis, describing their conduct up to this point as "very professional and wise."
