WASHINGTON, March 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday warned that Iran will suffer dire consequences for further attacks by the Houthis based in Yemen.

"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," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!" he wrote.

Trump also accused Iran of providing the Houthis with weapons, money and intelligence.

Earlier on Monday, Alexus Grynkewich, the head of operations at the Joint Staff, said at a Pentagon press briefing that the United States struck 30 Houthi targets at multiple locations on Saturday.

More strikes were conducted on Sunday and Monday, and the operation "will continue in the coming days until we achieve the President's objectives," he said.

The Houthi Health Ministry said on Sunday that the U.S. strikes had killed 53 people and injured 98 others since Saturday. Enditem
