US attempts to protect Israeli vessels in Red Sea have failed: Yemen

Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement says the United States has failed in its plans to protect Israeli vessels cruising through the Red Sea waters, stating that the commercial ships have no option but to redirect their routes and avoid getting struck by Yemeni attacks in retaliation for the bloody war on the Gaza Strip.

Ali al-Qahoum, a member of Ansarullah’s political bureau, told Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network on Friday that Yemeni Armed Forces stand seriously committed to the international law and maritime navigation, and have vowed to target Israeli ships in the Red Sea until attacks on Gaza cease completely.

He went on to sharply criticize Washington for its “aggression and criminal behavior” towards the Yemeni nation over their unflinching support for Gazans and the Palestinian cause.

The senior Ansarullah official highlighted that the failure of American attempts to protect Israeli ships in the Red Sea has forced the regime to redirect its ships and send them elsewhere. 

Al-Qahum also said that the Yemeni operations had a major impact on the regional equation as they “changed the balance of power and surprised America, the West, and the Zionists.”
