Yemen's Houthi group threatened on Saturday to target US ships and warships in the Red Sea if Washington launches an attack on Iran in support of Israel.
This came in a televised statement read by the group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, and monitored by an Anadolu Agency correspondent.
Saree said: "If the US is involved in an attack and aggression against Iran with the Israeli enemy, the Houthi armed forces will target its ships and warships in the Red Sea."
He added, "Our forces are monitoring and observing all movements in the region, including hostile movements against our country, and will take all necessary legitimate measures to defend our beloved country and its proud people."
