Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the Houthi rebels, accusing them of acting on Iran's orders to drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. elections. Speaking to reporters, Trump stated, "The Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they learned their lesson a year ago when we bombed them to smithereens, and at their request, we stopped." He described their actions as "terrible" and an attempt to influence the upcoming U.S. elections, adding a personal note, "Someone needs to explain to them that I'm not running in the election, I already won it in a landslide." Trump concluded with a veiled threat, "I'll be there after the election, and I will never forget."
Trump also heavily criticized Iran, calling it a failed state with a "terrible" economy and 301% inflation, though he conceded that the U.S. might have "gone too far in eliminating Iran's senior leaders." He asserted U.S. control over the Strait of Hormuz and indicated a decision regarding Iran would be made soon.
