The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed on Sunday that Iran would respond “decisively” to any threat or act of aggression following President Trump’s warning to Tehran over Yemen.
“Iran will never be the initiator of war, but in the event of a threat, the response will be firm, decisive, and conclusive,” said Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami, according to Iran’s PressTV.
A day earlier, President Trump announced a major bombing against Yemen’s Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, and warned Iran in a post on Truth Social that “Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY!”
Trump continued, “Do NOT threaten the American People, their President, who has received one of the largest mandates in Presidential History, or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won’t be nice about it!”
In response, Salami denied the claim that Iran was supporting the Houthis militarily. “The president of the United States has once again attributed the operations carried out by Yemen’s Ansar Allah to Iran and has warned the Iranian people to stop their support for the resistance group,” he said.
Salami said that Yemen’s forces act independently. “Iran openly and clearly accepts responsibility for any actions it takes, when and where they occur,” he said. “We are not a nation that operates under the cloak of secrecy; rather, we are a legitimate and globally recognized entity. When we undertake any military action or lend our support, we will declare it openly and unequivocally.”
Tensions have been rising between the US and Iran since President Trump re-imposed his “maximum pressure campaign” on the Islamic Republic and began increasing sanctions. Trump has also hinted at the possibility of taking military action against Iran if a deal on its nuclear program isn’t reached, even though he has acknowledged that Iranian leadership doesn’t seek a nuclear weapon.
"Do NOT threaten the American People"? What?! Iran can bomb Britain at best, not the USA. Yemen went to war with Israel, it's the USA who attacked Yemen unilaterally.
Anyway, I expect gradual escalation until Hell breaks loose in early summer (so says my crystal ball).
Trump rambling is only cheered by his cabinet and his cult… His approval rating is going down… Noble Peace Prize is getting away…!
Nobel Peace Pize is given by Norway and this year a Zionist genocider is a main candidate. Trump can still the Peace Prize for war and genocide, he just needs to make Norway Great Again by returning Greenland to them or whatever. :/
Returning Greenland from Denmark to Norway…?!!
That would totally cater to the patriotic ego of Nobel Peace Prize givers… but it’s not what Trump wants.
Yemen just declared war on the USA (again). Al Houthi (President of Yemen):
"The American aircraft carrier and warships will be our target, and the decision to ban navigation will include the US as long as it continues its aggression".
We already saw what happened last year: three US aircraft carriers were hit, no US shipping company or even remotely connected ships with weirdo flags like those of Marianas Islands could go through the Red Sea. Is the genocide of Palestine worth it?, for whom is it worth?
Trump does not want to declare war anywhere because he wants to sell that "peace president " label to his adoring fans. He just throws missiles and bombs around and kills foreign generals he does not like.
Pentagon falsely tells him that they killed generals or heads of Al Qaeda terrorists to satisfy his ego…!
Exactly like his first term.

Interesting — it’s been a long time since the last time I saw Ann “conservative affirmative action poster child” Coulter make any kind of really interesting point.

Perhaps she had a good night in bed…!
Constitution? What Constitution? You mean the one her boy at that time, Bush 43, said was "just a piece of paper"?
The air, land and sea blockade of Yemen may be eased but still holds…! If Iran was smuggling arms to Yemen they would have sophisticated air defense systems similar to themselves… and would have, at least partially, prevented this air strike to take place…!
Now that Mad King Donald has brought chaos to the federal government he moves on to attack the world. One simply can't believe a word he says. There's a reason why he didn't put his hand on the Bible when he was inaugurated…

That's because he is a zionist…!
Not only is he a Zionist but he's the new King Donald who has no use for the US Constitution or the rule of law. It's all downhill from here, folks.
We want candidate antiwar Trump back: https://x.com/RonPaul/status/1901690339817123936
