Watch Live: Pentagon keeps news information while the United States increases the attack on the Houthis of Jemens

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (AP) -the US President Donald Trump expressly associated the Houthi rebels of Yemen on Monday with the main protective manager of the group, the Iran, and warns that Tehran would suffer the consequences for further attacks by the group “from the consequences”.

The Pentagon will hold a news information at 2:30 p.m. ET. Watch the player above.

Trump's comments on his social website of truth, escalate the new campaign of the air strikes of his government on the rebels, which killed at least 53 people this weekend and seem ready to continue. In the meantime, Iran continues to weigh how to react to a letter that Trump sent last week and tried to start negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program quickly.

Trump described the Houthis as “uncanny Mobster and racket” and warned that every attack by the group would “occur with great strength, and there is no guarantee that this force will stop there.”

“Iran played the innocent victim of villain terrorists from which they lost control, but they have not lost any control,” said Trump in his post. “They dictate every step, give them their weapons, provide them with money and highly developed military devices and even so -called” intelligence “.”

It is unclear what Trump's post has triggered. However, the head of the paramilitary revolutionary guard of Iran tried to separate the actions of the Houthis from Tehran this weekend. The Houthis also started drones and rockets on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft wearer in the Red Sea, although none reached the ship when flight operations in the region continued.

Iran did not comment on the post immediately.

“From this point in time, every shot fired by the Houthis will be viewed at a shot that was fired by the weapons and the leadership of Iran, and Iran is held responsible and suffer from the consequences, and these consequences will be bad!” Added.
