Netanyahu Sounds Like Hegseth in New Threat to Iran After Houthi Attack
Houthis have vowed to defend the Gazans who are being massacred by Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been trying to get the U.S. to go to war with Iran for decades, warned Iran that it will pay for the Houthi missile attack that struck just outside Ben Gurion International Airport on Sunday.
“Israel will respond to the Houthi attack against our main airport AND, at a time and place of our choosing, to their Iranian terror masters,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu seems like he had the same script given to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who tried to act like a tough guy last week in his threat to Iran.
Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury, said in a statement last week that the Trump administration is “committed to holding accountable those who seek to provide the Iranian regime with the funding it needs to further its destabilizing activities in the region and around the world.”
Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, posted that the “continued imposition of sanctions against various economic sectors of Iran is in clear contradiction with the U.S. claim for dialogue and negotiation and indicates the lack of goodwill and seriousness of the U.S. in this regard.”
The U.S. military over the last six weeks has intensified its bombing campaign in Yemen – striking over 800 targets and forcing the group’s leadership to take cover in underground tunnels – but Washington has been sparse on its goals and runs the risk of engaging in a drawn-out conflict with no endgame.
