Yemeni naval units won’t allow US military to turn Red Sea into its backyard: Houthi
A high-ranking member of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council says the country’s naval units will not allow the US military to turn the Red Sea into its backyard, stressing that the forces will continue their anti-Israel maritime operations until aggression and blockade on Gaza stop.
Mohammad Ali al-Houthi stated that Yemeni missile strikes against Israeli interests have terrified Americans, downplaying the joint strikes by US and British forces against targets in Yemen.
Houthi told Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news channel that the Yemeni Armed Forces will press ahead with their anti-Israel strikes in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean as long as the Tel Aviv regime continues its genocidal war and all-out siege against Palestinians in Gaza.
The top Yemeni official went on to highlight that Americans are concerned about Yemen’s missile power, stressing that his country’s naval forces will never let Washington turn the Red Sea into its backyard.
Reacting to reports that American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower will be heading home, Houthi noted that other US Navy warships and frigates will soon leave the Red Sea.
“Americans well know that Yemenis are a nation who do what they say they will do, irrespective of threats as well as media and political hype. Washington's propaganda cannot by any means scare the people of Yemen,” Houthi said.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 33,686 people and wounded another 76,309 individuals come to an end.
Leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has said it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”
The attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
