US President Donald Trump has warned Iran that “very big things” could happen soon as he weighs his next move in the conflict with Tehran, while his administration is also considering possible military action against Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Trump said he was at a decisive point over the war and suggested that Iran could face severe consequences if it did not change its behaviour.
The situation has also become more tense around Yemen after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile towards Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh.
They had better behave,” Trump said. Trump said he was considering several options, including destroying Iran, allowing its economy to deteriorate further or reaching a diplomatic settlement. “Very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future,” Trump said while discussing his plans. Saudi forces said the missile was intercepted. CNN National Security Analyst Alex Plitsas said on X that he had been told the meeting at the presidential retreat was focused on reviewing and discussing possible Yemen strike options. Trump also said Washington remained in contact with the Houthis following their recent attacks on Saudi Arabia. The administration has previously said that the group had agreed not to target American personnel. Saudi authorities said they intercepted the missile aimed at Riyadh and thwarted further attacks.
“My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? The latest escalation comes after Houthi forces claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks on sensitive targets in Riyadh and an oil facility in Yanbu. He also indicated that he could be open to talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the UN General Assembly high-level week, which begins in New York on Monday. Trump cut short his overnight stay at Camp David and returned to the White House on Sunday.
