10月13日,President Donald J. Trump在X称胡塞受伊朗指使,打击沙特抬油价。
他称胡塞“表现很糟”,并指其“长期沉寂后再次出现,可能受伊朗指使”。他写道: "They’ve been silent for a long time, but now they’ve emerged again, probably at the behest of Iran... hitting Saudi Arabia, and purposefully trying to drive up Oil Prices..."(“他们沉寂很久,如今再次出现,可能受伊朗指使……打击沙特,故意抬高油价”。)同时称伊朗为“Failing Nation, with No Navy, No Airforce, the World’s Worst Economy, and 301% Inflation”。
他表示“一年前我们把他们炸得一塌糊涂,并在他们的要求下停止”,并写下“NOT NICE”。他还称: "Somebody should explain to them that I’m not running in the Elections, I’ve already won, IN A MASSIVE LANDSLIDE... and I will never forget!"(“有人该告诉他们,我不参选,我已以巨大优势获胜……我会在选后出现,且永远记得!”)。帖文署名“President DONALD J. TRUMP”。
