News - Yemen: On the first day of Eid al-Adha, the Yemeni Armed Forces delivered a double blow to American and Israeli commercial and military ships in support of the Mujahedeen in Gaza. The attack involved Rocketry Forces, Naval Forces, and Air Forces, targeting an American destroyer in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles, a second ship with naval missiles, and a third ship with drones. These operations are primarily a response to the Zionist crimes in Gaza and secondly, to the US-British aggression against Yemen.

The timing of this operation during Eid al-Adha sends a message to the enemies that the Palestinian cause is deeply rooted in Yemen’s consciousness, in both joy and sorrow. The festive occasion does not hinder Yemen’s support for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, which has been subjected to a genocidal war for over eight months.

The United States and Britain face a significant dilemma in the Red Sea. For the first time since World War II, the US Navy is engaged in a prolonged conflict with the Yemeni Armed Forces, feeling the bitterness of defeat and incapacity to respond or halt Yemeni military operations.

American officials admit they were preparing for a naval confrontation with China or Russia but now face a major problem with Yemen. Their forces in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait are broken and ineffective.

Following Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Yemen has emerged as a formidable naval power in the region, as evidenced by the US and European coalition's inability to stop these operations. Yemen and its Armed Forces are determined to support the Palestinian resistance by all available means, including launching ballistic and cruise missiles at the occupied Um Rashrash and preventing ships of any nationality from passing through the Red Sea to the port of Um Rashrash.

Key points highlighting American failure in the confrontation with Yemen include:

• Inability to protect Israeli ships passing through the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean.
• Failure to protect ships heading to Israeli ports.
• US failure to protect its naval vessels in the Red Sea, including destroyers and the aircraft carrier Eisenhower.

The increasing American complaints reflect the continuous blows from the Yemeni Armed Forces. American officials acknowledge the significant predicament they are in. At the same time, Israeli disappointments with the Americans grow as promised protections for their ships in the Red Sea have not materialized, resulting in persistent failure.

The escalation by the Yemeni Armed Forces has progressed steadily to the fourth and most crucial phase, reaching its peak with the sinking of two commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and a third on the verge of sinking—all within a week in precise and distinctive operations.

Warships are also not immune to these attacks. The aircraft carrier Eisenhower remains in a state of retreat, positioned near Jeddah, while other warships are intermittently hit with direct, precise strikes that achieve their goals.

The flames will continue to rage in the Red and Arabian Seas and in the occupied Palestinian territories. Yemen's decision is clear and unwavering. The cessation of these operations hinges on ending the Zionist aggression and blockade on Gaza; otherwise, we will witness further painful escalations for the enemies.
