Yemen: At the very moment when the US aircraft carrier was preparing to launch a wide-scale attack on Yemen, it was struck a heavy blow by the Yemeni Rocketry Force and Air Force.

This time, the Yemeni Armed Forces made a significant addition to their accomplishments by targeting the aircraft carrier and downing an American F-18 fighter jet. This successful strike confirmed what previous ones had already demonstrated—along with the Yemeni missile that struck the heart of the Israeli occupation's capital yesterday—that the leadership, army, and people of Yemen are ready for confrontation. They are prepared to go further in this fight and can target all US interests in the region, which they are well-acquainted with.

This is likely what Yemen will do in the fifth phase if the escalation continues against Yemen or the aggression on Gaza. The US, Zionist, and British forces need to understand that targeting Yemen's civilian facilities will not alter the course of the battle the Yemeni people have entered. They are ready for sacrifice and are unlike any other people in the world. They are the only nation where the government has been asked by the people, after the recent US-Zionist bombings, to install sirens in the capital—not for fleeing to shelters, but to climb to rooftops to witness the airstrikes firsthand. This has been noted by some American and Western newspapers, which described the US and Zionist strikes on Yemen as ineffective, commenting that the problem in Yemen is that the people are indifferent to the damage they may incur. They noted that the United States and the Zionist entity are unable to deal with the Yemeni situation.

The Yemeni forces in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Gulf of Aden represent the greatest challenge to the US Navy. Iran, Yemen's primary ally, cannot pressure the revolutionary and political leadership in Sana'a to halt the attacks, whether in the sea or in the occupied territories. This is a fact on the ground, as declared by the leadership in Sana'a since the first day of the "Flood of Al-Aqsa" battle. The Yemeni forces’ targeting of the Zionist entity and blocking the Red Sea to American, Zionist, and British ships will not stop unless the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted. Anything else is impossible. Yemen did not enter this battle for show or as part of a resistance axis, but did so with full conviction, responding to divine guidance for jihad in the cause of Allah, defending the oppressed on earth, and confronting the killers of prophets from the Jews and Christians who destroy crops and offspring and spread corruption on earth. This great faith-driven stance undoubtedly has a cost, which the Yemeni people are ready to pay from day one. They were not surprised by the American or Zionist strikes. Rather, they draw closer to Allah through these strikes, seeing them as a strong indication that they are heading in the right direction as commanded by Allah. The US and the Zionist entity are now well aware that Yemen has become an existential threat to them in the region.

There is no doubt that the US, British, and Zionist aggression on civilian facilities in Sana'a and Hodeidah has revived the hopes of the hypocrites and mercenaries in the occupied Yemeni territories, making them eager for American and Zionist money and weapons. To them, we say: The Yemeni people are waiting to settle the score with you and cleanse the pure Yemeni land from your filth and corruption. The day of reckoning is near.
