The United States and the United Kingdom are instigating even larger bloodshed and war in the Middle East. This time the target is Yemen.
On January 12, The US and UK launched a massive strike on the country, in particular territories controlled by the Houthi-led government. The US-led force launched over 100 missiles at dozens of “Houthi-related” targets, including large cities like Sanaa and Hodeidah.
US Central Command claimed that “over 60 targets at 16 Iranian-backed Houthi militant locations” were struck in Yemen. These targets included “command and control nodes, munitions depots, launching systems, production facilities, and air defense radar systems”.

Ripped footage of SkyNews circulate in Telegram and show the impacy of the British-US strike on Yemen:
Military spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that five people have been killed and six others wounded as the US and UK targeted five regions of Yemen with 73 strikes overnight.
“The American and British enemy bears full responsibility for its criminal aggression against our Yemeni people, and it will not go unanswered and unpunished,” heF stated.
He added that “the Yemeni Armed Forces will not hesitate to target sources of threat and all hostile targets on land and at sea in defense of Yemen, its sovereignty and independence.”
The US and the UK launched their aggression under pretext of tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis have pledged to support Gaza amid the devastating humanitarian situation and death toll among civilians in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Since mid-October, the Yemenis have launched multiple drones and missiles targeting Israel as well as Israeli-affiliated merchant vessels moving in the region. The US-led group of warships deployed around Yemen to support Israel was also hit.
In response, the US and the UK, which were the main backers of the Saudi-led invasion of Yemen in previous years, decided to directly attack Yemen itself.
Such decision found little public support so far and for sure contributed to even further tensions between the US-Israeli bloc and the people of the Middle East.
Commenting on the situation, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the US and UK of trying to turn the Red Sea into a “sea of blood”. The Yemeni fighters are mounting a “successful defense, response” against those attacks, Erdogan also said, newspaper Daily Sabah reported.
Meanwhile, an advisor to Iraq’s Prime Minister Fadi al-Shammari slammed the US and UK strikes on Yemen as “another act of stupidity” by the West.
Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the strikes.
“The American aggression confirms once again that the US is a full partner in the tragedies and massacres committed by the Zionist enemy in Gaza and the region,” the statement reads.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said that Beijing is “concerned about the escalation of tensions in the Red Sea.”
“We urge the relevant parties to keep calm and exercise restraint, to prevent the conflict from expanding,” Mao stressed.
Russia also condemned the “illegitimate” airstrikes on Yemen by the US and UK, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
No surprise NATO states found the aggression against Yemen to be a reasonable move by the US and the UK.
Another open secret is that the aggression against Yemen led to no de-escalation in the region. The Yemeni government insisted that airstrikes by the US and UK will not make them stop their actions.
“The targeting was and will continue to affect Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine,” Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam wrote on Twitter (currently known as X).
The aggressive actions of the US and the UK in the region serve another confirmation of the total moral bankruptcy of the entire “Western-led world order”. The issue is that Western powers are ready to sacrifice millions of innocent people to prolong the agony of their collapsing dominance on the international scene.
standard anglo-american-roman policy. let’s support our fake construct of a nation (ziodiaperland) to the detriment of dozens of neighboring countries in the region.
sorry, how many thousands of km away is murica and england from yemen? right, mafia pigs…
for 10 years to now they bombed yemen – what did they achieved after all those years? nothing – houthis won and they are talks between south yemen and north yemen (to go back to borders before the unification or something close to that).
i can 100% understand why houthis support palestinians – there are more reasons to that. israel attacked houthis with us and ksa, they feel the pain of palestinians, but mainly they know the us and west wouldn’t let them have peace.
us, uk, with support from australia, the netherlands, bahrain, and canada, initiated strikes inside yemen, as per pentagon correspondent for politico.
ksa and uae also didn’t closed their airspace for the us military.
uae has barely any airspace really and they are far from yemen, but ksa is the shameful accomplice here! not surprising though… ksa rulers always follow the road of least resistance, even if it eventually leads to disaster – they are simply weak, morally bankrupt, greedy and decadent.
yes, you are correct the us mainly used ksa airspace but uae didn’t close their airspare to us for this attack on yemen – it just show who they back.
also, that is wahhabism for you – they aren’t much different than zionists.
uae have the largest air base for the usa in the region
that uae base won’t last long if the us keeps making stupid moves in defence of the monsters in pis ray elle.
ksa, uae, bahrain, oman, kwt, iraq all have permanent u-s air force bases; most have naval bases too. the u-s effectively controls m.e. airspace and governments (the uk launches from cyprus).
until the m.e. kicks out the west and its proxy terrorist groups this carnage will continue. without a strong u-s presence in the m.e. the isr occupation would quickly crumble.
i’m sure you know most of those states are puppet states and nothing meaningful would happen anytime soon. beside, iran, syria, lebanon (hezbollah really), yemen (houthis – north yemen) and iraq (we will see how hard they try to push the us out).
turkey and egypt don’t do much but they sure love to act as if they done a lot.
1 houthi is worth 10 saudis in battle. 10 saudis in battle are worth 100 uae soldiers. there are over 1 million houthis alone trained and willing to go on a holy war against the west and israel, do the math.
the saudis use other african people for their wars like how israel use yanquis in their wars.
if a real war happens ksa and uae would be gone before israel. hints, why they are making peace deal with iran – slowly.
“the us is a full partner” – benjamin netanyahu spent many years living in the usa at various times, going back and forth between israel, and was linked with leading us political figures even then.
the only warmonger here is the uk, so its not acceptable to say “us and uk planes bombed whomever”.. we need to know how many us fighter jets and how many uk jets were involved
furthermore, this could be something as stupid as a cover for fannygate
this illegal assault was meant to knock the south african icj case against israel off the front pages and off the cable news channels.
que a resposta iemenita seja como um terremoto geopolítico.
why is it that the us is “instigating”….
‘rus also condemned the “illegitimate” airstrikes..’
but remains 100% complicit (along with prc) after giving the us-uk the unequivocal green light to go ahead with these strikes 2 days ago by failing to veto usa’s unsc motion that enabled this outrage. rus cannot claim it didn’t know what was going on, because everyone else did.
the only ‘good guys’ here deserving of respect are plstn, ymn and sth afr.
correct. russia is less antagonistic to the cabal than it would have you think. why the endless litany of „the west, the west, the west“?, simply bc it‘s not „ the west“… but parts if it, and parts if the east too.
finlay=another moron hillbilly in oklahoma
nahh, russia is just outsmarting all of them. they’ll never let on to what their true end goal is. they’ve been working on it for nearly 70 years.
even with russia;s refusal, us-uk adminstrations, like brigands they really are, will look another excuse of bomb yemen similar to the second iraq invasion despite the overwhelming protest
middle east ,africa and russia should stop oil,gold and diamond export to usa,britain and france/nato brusselss and wars will stop no more war mongers.
sa will always sell oil because it is a protectorate of usa. diamonds are supplied by de beers cartel that is part of nwo.
good job, usa and uk! barbecuing iranian terrorists is only practicing for them 😀
us/uk… *not* „the west“. led by a crooked cabal… which has its members also in the east!
erdougan should now go after the pkk-ypg-sdf terrorists full force both in syria and iraq.
let’s hope there is no cargoship with fertilizer in the port like in beirut. but maybe that is too cheap and there is not enough profit.
rusia y china en vez de condenar estos actos por parte de ee.uu y sus aliados contra yemen deberían de inmediato proveer de las armas adecuadas para el ejército yemeni, se les podría ceder misiles de crucero onix, bastión y todo tipo de misil que pueda alcanzar los barcos y posiciones de las tropas de ee.uu en la región.
desperate crumbling anglo empire despised everywhere…”amerikans are farcical when it comes to money and force majeure–the 2 things they worship”. gore vidal
the houthis started this little party and now they are crying because bad things are falling from the sky. houthis are stupid.
are you the one that sucks on the dildo to lubricate it before shoving it up jens butt.
houthis aren’t crying bud!! they’re telling the us and uk to bring it on openly. the americants and limey brits will be crying very soon though.
stupid is; as stupid does. seems if zionist say bomb they do just that. even if they are a small minority.
so usa and uk are attacking one of the poorest countries in the world, yemen, for defending and even poorer region in the world ,gaza, against a nation, israel, in court right now accused of genocide on gaza. usa and uk working hard to catch up with israel for world’s most evil nation top spot.
bbc the little britain state tv, with an obligation for impartiality, completely forgot to cover the south africa case against israel for genocide in the icj yesterday, but covered live none stop the israel defense case today.
dont worry, they only rely on air strikes. air strikes dont win wars
they got centcom people going in from the north?
i ❤️ houthis!
the target is iran. it’s the anti iran crowds turn. i smell mike pompeo. pompeo would be trumps controller if trump is elected. another war until the anti china group is installed.
