The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have once again announced that they are targeting the US aircraft carrier "USS Harry Truman" in the Red Sea.
Houthi Military Spokesman Yahya Saree stated in a statement that they carried out an attack on a US aircraft carrier in the Red Sea. Saree noted that they attacked the US aircraft carrier "USS Harry Truman" with missiles and drones in the northern Red Sea, expressing that these attacks forced the ship to leave its operational area.
"WE WILL CONTINUE TO TARGET ISRAEL"
Saree threatened that they would continue to target Israel, which is carrying out attacks and a blockade on the Gaza Strip.
THE LATEST SITUATION IN THE RED SEA
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have been seizing commercial ships they claim are linked to Israeli companies off the coast of Yemen since October 31, 2023, citing the Israeli attacks on Gaza as a justification, and have also attacked some of them with drones and missiles.
Following the actions of the Houthis, many shipping companies decided to halt their operations in the Red Sea. The US announced on December 18, 2023, that a multinational "naval task force" named "Operation Guardian of the Wealth" was formed against Houthi forces with the participation of a group of countries, citing the threat to global maritime trade security.
In response to the attacks by the US and the UK on areas under their control in Yemen, the Houthis announced that they would target all ships from these two countries.
