US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warns Iran that it will face consequences for supporting the Houthis, a group that controls northern Yemen and has struck shipping in the Red Sea in what it says is solidarity with the Palestinians.
“Message to IRAN: We see your LETHAL support to The Houthis. We know exactly what you are doing,” Hegseth writes on X. “You know very well what the US Military is capable of — and you were warned. You will pay the CONSEQUENCE at the time and place of our choosing.”
