Houthi Leader Warns US of “Heavier and Disturbing” Retaliation
Houthis Leader Threatens Retaliation Against US After Clashes
In a recent speech on al-Mesira television channel, Houthis leader Abdulmelik al-Husi claimed that the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman was targeted by Houthi forces in the northern region, approximately 1300 kilometers away.
Al-Husi stated that the Houthi forces are currently targeting US aircraft carriers, warships, and other military elements, and warned of potential further retaliation if the attacks continue. He emphasized that if the US persists in attacking Yemen, they will face even heavier and more disturbing retaliation moves.
Within the last 24 hours, the Houthis announced that they had targeted the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier twice with missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Additionally, the group threatened to restart maritime operations against Israel if Gaza was not granted entry within 4 days.
US President Donald Trump recently announced plans to launch a “great attack” against the Houthis in Yemen. In response, Al-Husi stated that the Houthis would improve their military forces to counter any new attacks, further escalating the tension between the two sides.
Al-Husi also warned that US aircraft and warships would be targeted by the Houthis, potentially leading to disruptions in sea flights with Washington. Backed by Iran, the Houthis have previously carried out airstrikes in Yemen’s capital Sana’a and other cities, resulting in casualties including 53 deaths and 98 injuries.
As the situation between the US and the Houthis continues to escalate, the potential for further clashes and retaliation remains high. The international community is closely monitoring the developments in Yemen to prevent further escalation of violence.
