US President Donald Trump has explicitly linked the actions of Yemen’s Houthi rebels to the group’s main benefactor, Iran, warning Tehran would “suffer the consequences” for further attacks by the group.

The comments by Mr Trump on his Truth Social website further escalate his administration’s new campaign of air strikes targeting the rebels, which killed at least 53 people this weekend alone and appear poised to continue.
