Red Sea Ruckus: The Escalating Tensions Between the US and Iran The recent attack on two Saudi oil tankers by Yemen's Houthi militants, allegedly backed by Iran, has sent shockwaves through the global energy market.
President Trump's response is striking not just for its threat to hold Iran responsible for future Houthi attacks but also for its stark shift in tone from the optimism of last month's interim peace agreement.
The US now squarely pins blame on Iran for any future Houthi strikes, implying that if Tehran doesn't rein in its proxies, it will face American firepower.
