Trump "Houthi vicious attack... I will never forget it even after the midterm elections" (comprehensive)

President Trump said this on the social media platform TruthSocial on this day, saying, “The Houthi rebels are behaving very badly.”

“I thought they would have learned their lesson when we bombed them so viciously a year ago and stopped at their request,” Trump said. “They were quiet for a long time, but now they are back and attacking Saudi Arabia in a very vicious way.”

President Trump pointed out, "This is probably an intentional attempt to drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. election under the direction of Iran, a failed state with no navy or air force, the worst economy in the world, and 301% inflation."

“Someone is going to have to explain to them that I am not running in this election,” Trump said, adding, “I will be there even after the election is over, and I will never forget that.”

The Houthis' attack on Saudi Arabia was ordered by Iran, which aims to cause the US Republican Party to lose the midterm elections by stimulating international oil prices, and is interpreted to mean that the President himself can order a retaliatory attack against the Houthis regardless of whether he wins or loses the midterm elections.

President Trump has declared that “we will not attack Iran at any point before the midterm elections (November 3).” The New York Times reported that President Trump has rejected plans for large-scale military operations against Iran or the Houthis five times in recent months.

President Trump appears to have a policy of not directly involving the United States against the Houthis until the election, but he left open the possibility of requesting military support from other countries in the Middle East, including Türkiye.

President Trump met with reporters at the White House on this day and was asked whether he would ask Türkiye to join the Houthi attack, to which he replied, "That could be possible," and "He (President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Türkiye) is a very good friend of mine."

“I think he will do whatever I ask of him. I have a lot of respect for him,” Trump added.

The U.S. online media Axios reported that Syria was also considering sending troops to the Houthis, and that the Trump administration also said it would not oppose sending troops to Syria.
