A top Iranian military commander has issued a stern warning to the United States following President Trump’s latest threats of intensified strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Iranian general cautioned that any further U.S. military action targeting the Houthis would provoke a decisive response from Iran and its regional allies.
In a televised statement, the general condemned what he described as continued American aggression in the region, vowing that Iran would not stand idle if the United States expanded its operations. He emphasized that the Houthis were a legitimate resistance movement and warned that military escalation could ignite a wider conflict involving multiple countries.
The statement came after Trump ordered a series of strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, claiming the moves were necessary to neutralize threats against American forces and interests in the Middle East. The president also pledged that any future attacks by the Houthis would be met with even greater force.
Iran’s warning highlights the rising tensions as both sides exchange threats amid ongoing violence in Yemen. The general asserted that Tehran’s support for the Houthis remains unwavering and any direct confrontation with the group would draw a regional response. He accused the U.S. of destabilizing the region and warned that continued intervention would backfire.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials stressed their readiness to defend allies and preserve regional stability, signaling that further American military operations could trigger retaliation not only from Yemen but also from Iran’s broader network of partners.
