Trump’s Warning to Iran Over Houthi Attacks
On Monday, President Donald Trump made a bold statement, declaring that Iran would be held directly responsible for any future attacks carried out by Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
This came after the Houthis targeted multiple foreign ships, including U.S. vessels, in the Red Sea.
Trump didn’t mince words: “Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN.
Iran will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences.”
The Threat of Retaliation
Trump’s warning wasn’t just a strong rebuke but a clear indication that any further aggression from the Houthis would provoke a massive response.
The President made it clear that the Houthis’ attacks, which are widely believed to be influenced by Iran, would not be tolerated.
“Any further attack or retaliation by the ‘Houthis’ will be met with great force,” he stated, leaving no room for ambiguity.
The President also warned that the consequences would not stop at the initial retaliation.
Conor McGregor’s Visit to the White House
In an unexpected turn, Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor made a surprise appearance at the White House on St. Patrick’s Day.
The former UFC champion, a known supporter of Trump, spent time with the President in the Oval Office.
While McGregor took the opportunity to celebrate the occasion, he also voiced concerns about illegal immigration.
Both McGregor and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sported green outfits, and McGregor even took the podium to make a few remarks on his concerns about the situation back home in Ireland.
Trump Responds to Deportation Drama
Meanwhile, Trump is facing backlash over an incident involving the deportation of illegal Venezuelan gang members.
Reports surfaced suggesting the President had defied a court order to halt the deportation of 200 gang members.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump defended the operation, describing the individuals being sent back to El Salvador as “bad people” and “monsters.”
He claimed that these deportations were essential, accusing the Biden administration of allowing criminals to infiltrate the U.S.
“It’s an invasion, and these are criminals,” Trump remarked.
His comments came in response to a federal judge’s last-minute attempt to block the planes en route to El Salvador.
High-Stakes Call with Putin
In a notable move, President Trump confirmed that he would be speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
Trump expressed optimism about the upcoming conversation, saying that over the weekend, substantial work had been done regarding a potential ceasefire in Ukraine.
“We want to see if we can bring that war to an end,” he shared with reporters.
Though Trump acknowledged there were no guarantees, he indicated a strong belief that there could be a real chance of reaching a deal.
Trump Challenges Biden’s Pardons
In another controversial statement, Trump declared that the pardons issued by President Joe Biden were invalid.
The list of individuals granted clemency includes prominent figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley, as well as nine members of the January 6 Committee.
Additionally, Biden’s decision to commute nearly 2,500 prison sentences – a record number – has raised eyebrows.
Trump’s claim that Biden’s use of an autopen to issue these pardons rendered them void adds another layer of tension to the ongoing political drama.
With all of these developments, it’s clear that President Trump is setting a bold agenda as he faces off against challenges both at home and abroad.
The coming days will likely reveal more about the consequences of these statements and actions.
