WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump launched strikes against Yemen's Houthis on Saturday over the group's attacks against ships in the Red Sea, warning if Houthi attacks did not stop "hell will rain down upon you like nothing you have ever seen before."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump also warned Iran, the Houthis main backer, that it needed to immediately stop supporting the group. He said if Iran threatened the United States "America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!"
