The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on March 8 that its forces carried out another wave of “self-defense strikes” against the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen over the past day.
The strikes targeted four mobile anti-ship cruise missiles and one drone in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, the command said in a statement.
It added that its forces also shot down three drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen toward the Gulf of Aden.
“These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for U.S. Navy and merchant vessels,” CENTCOM said.
Yemen’s Al-Masirah TV said that four American and British strikes hit the western province of al-Hodeidah on March 7. The strikes targeted the areas of Hodeidah International Airport, Ras Issa, and al-Jabbanah, according to the Houthi-run news channel, which didn’t report any losses.
Just a day before the latest wave of strikes, anti-ship ballistic missiles hit the Barbados-flagged, U.S.-owned cargo ship True Confidence in the Gulf of Aden.
A fire broke out aboard the ship as a result of the attack, causing the crew to abandon the vessel. Three crew members were killed and four others sustained serious burns from the fire. This was the first time a Houthi attack caused casualties.
The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have targeted dozens of Israel-affiliated vessels and others owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 19 in response to the ongoing Israeli war and siege on the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
In his State of the Union address on March 7, U.S. President Joe Biden said that “creating stability in the Middle East also means containing the threat posed by Iran.”
“That’s why I built a coalition of more than a dozen countries to defend international shipping and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea,” Biden continued. “I’ve ordered strikes to degrade Houthi capabilities and defend U.S. forces in the region.”
“As commander-in-chief, I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and military personnel,” he warned.
The U.S. and the UK have already struck more than 200 targets in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen in their failed attempt to deter the group. More strikes will not likely make any difference.
there is no compromise for the yemen warriors. they have seen it all in the recent war with the saudi. just check the vids tell the emir of dubai, tell the king, force of great might. there will be some globalist navy ships sinking soon.
people don’t want to believe it but the houthis have been holding back from doing just that.
and the song ‘never to america!’ that got deleted off youtube but is still on odysee
i found it on youtube today!
a coalition against the houthis, 🤣🤣🤣
good luck against russia and china or iran let’s not forget north korea too.
biden supports right to commit genocide. it is impossible to degrade capabilities of decentralized militant organization without ground invasion.
nope, just cluster bomb every square inch if their stank ass rat holes they live in.
won’t happen though, the west is too busy kissing welfare slob negros asses. don’t want to upset the egg headed mongoloid black parasites.
like people can tell your age by what you are saying. okay child go on and compare how much aid “israel” got and how much aid palestinians received.
don’t worry i help you. israel has received more aid than the palestinians, even on a per-capita basis, according to u.s. government data. (that is only from the us). also, i don’t think you would understand this “even on a per-capita basis”*… but maybe later in your life you would get it.
18yr old trainee 🤣🤣🤣
i an prez of idiocracy—a population so stupid many support my senile malevolence
they made it worse, remember it was zionists owned ships and ships heading to “israel” that houthis attack no ones else (as the uk and us attack houthis they attack their ships as well).
“to degrade houthi capabilities” – lmfao, they give ukraine billions and russia capabilities just jumped so much higher as they got to test their weapons against westner weapons… okay good luck trying to “degrade” the capabilities of houthis… lol.
the zio empire has been bombing the houthis for more then 10 years and lost. drones are only brought out from their bomb proof bunkers and into the open to fire them, in less then 5 minutes. they are also easy and fast to fire, which can be done from any small truck or even a van or a metal ramp launcher. all the zio empire is doing is bombing innocent civilians like in gaza to please their lord satan
where have we heard this promise before.
