The war of words is heating up between the U.S. and Iran, over Iran’s support for the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.
BACK STORY: President Donald Trump announced Saturday afternoon that he has ordered airstrikes on the Houthi terror group in Yemen, over their “unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.”
“The Houthi attack on American vessels will not be tolerated,” Trump declared, noting that the Houthis “have choked off shipping in one of the most important Waterways of the World, grinding vast swaths of Global Commerce to a halt.”
Trump also warned Iran they better end their support for the Houthi terrorists immediately.
IRAN RESPONDS: Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, defiantly responded by telling the media, “We warn our enemies that Iran will respond decisively and destructively if they carry out their threats.”
“The Houthis are an independent people acting on their own. Iran has no role in their policies,” Salami also claimed.
The commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Hossein Salami vowed to deliver a “decisive and devastating” response to any enemy who executes their threats.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei took on an even more defiant tone, writing on Sunday, “The nation of #Yemen is definitely victorious. The only path is that of resistance. That which has caused the US and its allies to panic today is the fact that the Muslim nations are standing firmly and that this resistance will prove to be effective.”

HERE’S THE LATEST: President Trump posted the following ‘fire and brimstone’ message on Truth Social at 11:30 a.m. ET Monday:
Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN. 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. They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, “Intelligence.”
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, and those consequences will be dire!
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
