Analyzing the Dimensions of the U.S. and UK Aggression Against Yemen

The extensive, illegal, and inhumane aerial aggression by the United States and the United Kingdom, alongside the Zionist regime, against Yemen—which has resulted in dozens of martyrs and wounded—will plunge these countries into a quagmire that will bring them nothing but failure and defeat.

TEHRAN (Defapress) - While the U.S., the UK, and the Zionist regime carried out widespread attacks and aggressions against Yemen on Saturday night, reports from Yemen indicate that more than 30 civilians were martyred and over 100 others were injured due to these aggressions and airstrikes.

The U.S. and the UK launched these extensive airstrikes against Yemen in a completely illegal manner, violating international laws. As revealed by surrounding news and reports, and the evident role of the Zionist regime in supporting these attacks, the strikes were aimed at backing Tel Aviv and weakening the capabilities of Yemen's armed forces.

A particularly significant and noteworthy point is the statement by Donald Trump, the U.S. President, who shortly after the U.S. and UK airstrikes on Yemen, claimed that these attacks were carried out under his direct orders. Trump described the strikes as decisive and powerful actions taken in support of the Zionist regime.

Another concerning issue is that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) stated in a belligerent and aggressive announcement that these attacks mark the beginning of a series of military operations in Yemen against Ansar Allah and Yemen's armed forces. This indicates that the aggression will not be limited to Saturday night's attack and will likely continue in the coming days and nights.

On the other hand, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, also mentioned yesterday that Washington will no longer tolerate Ansar Allah's attacks against U.S. forces and commercial ships in the Red Sea. This was clearly reflected in the recent U.S. attacks on Yemen, demonstrating that the U.S. has decided to fully support the Zionist regime.

Meanwhile, Axios reported last night that the U.S. may target Iranian interests in Yemen. Axios also reported that the U.S. plans to target Iranian naval ships in the Red Sea that are assisting the Houthis in gathering intelligence. This suggests that the U.S. is seeking to drag the Islamic Republic of Iran into its recent conflicts with Yemen.

However, Ansar Allah and Yemen's armed forces have demonstrated during both the 8-year war with the Arab coalition and the one-year war with the Zionist regime that they have no fear of the U.S. and will not be intimidated. Accordingly, Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for Yemen's armed forces, announced last night that the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman was targeted with 18 ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones.

Following the targeting of the USS Harry Truman, Yemen's armed forces issued a statement, declaring that the American enemy had carried out a blatant aggression against their country, conducting over 47 airstrikes targeting areas in the provinces of Sana'a, Saada, Al-Bayda, Hajjah, Dhamar, Ma'rib, and Al-Jawf. The American enemy committed several massacres, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of dozens, with the final toll still unknown.

In the wake of the U.S. and UK military aggression, alongside the Zionist regime, against various parts of Yemen, Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Ansar Allah, stated last night that the American enemy had announced a new round of aggression against their country. The U.S. carried out several airstrikes and naval bombardments against residential areas in Sana'a and other Yemeni provinces.

The leader of Ansar Allah described the U.S. and UK attacks, alongside the Zionist regime, as brutal and unjust aggression within the framework of their tyranny and arrogance against the Islamic Ummah. He emphasized that the U.S. aims to support the Zionist enemy through these aggressive attacks.

Yemen's armed forces, following the U.S. and UK aggressions, declared that they will not hesitate to target all American warships in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea in response to the aggression against their country. With the help of Almighty God, they will continue the naval blockade of the Israeli enemy and enforce a ban on its ships in the declared operational zone.

Finally, Ansar Allah and Yemen's armed forces have consistently stated since the re-imposition of the blockade on the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime—now over 16 days—that they will continue their operations and attacks against Israeli ships in the Red Sea and surrounding Yemeni waters until essential aid and supplies reach the Gaza Strip.
