Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Friday US and British strikes on Yemen’s Houthis were “disproportionate,” alleging the US and Britain want to turn the Red Sea into a “bloodbath,” Agence France-Presse reported.
“First of all, they are not proportionate. All of this constitutes disproportionate use of force,” Erdoğan told journalists after Friday prayers in İstanbul.
“It’s like they want to turn the Red Sea into a bloodbath.”
The US and British strikes came in response to Houthi attacks on what they deemed to be Israeli-linked ships traveling in the Red Sea.
Erdoğan said his government had received news from various channels that the Houthis were conducting “successful defense and gave successful answers both to the US and Britain.”
