Trump Threatens ‘Major Military Punishment’ for Houthi Attacks on Saudi Tankers

President Donald Trump has warned of a “major military punishment” against Iran and Houthi militants following attacks on Saudi oil tankers. The United Nations, meanwhile, has described the escalating situation as “out of control.” The threat comes after a series of strikes targeted vessels belonging to Saudi Arabia, a key US ally. Trump did not specify the exact nature of the potential response but stated that the US is prepared to act decisively. The Houthi group, which controls large parts of Yemen, has been accused of carrying out the attacks with Iranian support. Iran has denied involvement. The UN has urged all parties to de-escalate, warning that the conflict risks spiraling into a broader regional war. No immediate military action has been reported.
