News - Yemen: Member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, praised the successful military operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces, affirming that these operations are aimed at countering the US and British support for Israeli terrorism in its genocide against the people of Gaza and Lebanon.

In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Al-Houthi challenged the Americans to prove that the aircraft carrier was not targeted, calling on them to allow television channels to conduct a live broadcast of the carrier to disprove that Yemeni Armed Forces had struck it.

He commended the efforts of the Rocketry Force and the Air Force in the recent special operation targeting the American aircraft carrier Abraham in the Arabian Sea.

“The military operations in Yemen are real and announced, unlike the rumors and fabrications the US promotes about these operations,” he added.

Al-Houthi further emphasized that national media personnel succeeded in debunking American rumors about halting Yemeni military operations and the passage of an Israeli military vessel in the Red Sea. He added that "free-spirited journalists refuted these American rumors days ago, defeating its narrative and fabricated campaigns.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces recently conducted two major military operations over eight hours in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, which, according to their official report, achieved their intended goals. Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Sare’e announced that the first operation targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea using cruise missiles and drones, as US forces reportedly prepared for an offensive against Yemen. Yemeni forces successed in averting this potential assault on their territory.

The second operation targeted two US destroyers in the Red Sea with missile and drone attacks. The Yemeni Armed Forces criticized the US and Britain for militarizing the Red Sea and warned of the security risks for international navigation in the region. These actions were framed as a response to US and British support for Israel amid ongoing aggression on Gaza and Lebanon.

The Yemeni military stated that operations would persist if key demands—such as lifting the Gaza blockade, halting aggression on Gaza, and stopping attacks on Lebanon—remain unmet. This announcement underscores a commitment to continue operations should these conditions go unfulfilled.

Since October 2023, following intensified violence in Gaza, Yemeni forces have launched multiple operations in solidarity with Palestinians, targeting areas in occupied Palestinian territories and intercepting ships believed to be headed toward Israeli-controlled ports. The recent operations highlight Yemen’s broader support for Gaza while signaling the potential for further military actions across several regional theaters if their demands are not addressed.
