News - Yemen: International media continue to highlight the retreat of the American aircraft carrier Eisenhower from the Red Sea due to precision strikes by the Yemeni Armed Forces.

Despite over two weeks passing since Eisenhower's retreat, Washington remains very concerned about deploying a new aircraft carrier. This follows Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi's recent speech, affirming that any new American aircraft carrier entering the Red Sea would be "targeted."

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy reported on Sunday about the increasing operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red and Arabian Seas and the Indian Ocean. The report emphasized that, despite the presence of two separate defense coalitions in the Red Sea, both have failed to counter these operations.

The absence of the aircraft carrier strike group in the Red Sea for two to three weeks, it added, sends a concerning signal at a time when Yemeni operations in support of Palestine in the sea are increasing.

On Saturday, the International Interest, an American newspaper, discussed the threat posed by the hypersonic missile "Hatim-2" of the Sana'a forces to American warships. The report stated, "The era of powerful aircraft carriers has ended," noting that hypersonic missiles and weapons have become the standard in modern warfare. The newspaper indicated that the Sana'a forces proved at the end of 2023 that they could deter the entire US Navy with their missiles.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted the aircraft carrier! USS Dwight D. Eisenhower for four times in the Red Sea, using ballistic and winged missiles. The operations successfully hit their targets. Following these attacks, the US announced it would replace Eisenhower with the aircraft carrier Roosevelt.

The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterated that they will continue their military operations in support of the Palestinian people until the aggression is halted and the siege on Gaza is lifted. They emphasized that Yemeni forces will not hesitate to target hostile foreign warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea in defense of Yemen's sovereignty.

Since the onset of the Al-Aqsa Storm battle and the Zionist aggression on Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces have imposed a ban on ships linked to the Zionist entity. Hundreds of operations have been conducted against these ships and American and British military assets, including Eisenhower, which has been directly hit by ballistic, naval, and drone missiles.

In early May, Brigadier General Sare'e announced that the Yemeni Armed Forces had entered the "fourth phase of escalation," targeting all ships violating the Israeli navigation ban and those heading to ports in occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea, in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Gaza.
