Yemen issues warning to Britain

Lately, Britain bombarded Yemen, marking the first joint attack with the United States under the Trump administration. In response, the government in Sanaa warned, “British enemy must reckon with the consequences of its entanglement,” condemning the it’s involvement in the US-led campaign against Yemen.

According to an official statement from Sanaa, the attack is part of the ongoing efforts by the American and British enemies to support the Israeli enemy.

The aim, it underlined, is to suppress Yemen’s support for Palestine and allow the Zionist regime to intensify its massacres in Gaza.

The statement declared, “Sanaa would confront the evil trio, the US, Britain, and the Zionist regime, along with their allies, with all its might,” vowing that such attacks would not shake Yemen’s commitment to its core causes, particularly the Palestinians in Gaza.

The British military said it had joined the US Air Force in targeting what it claimed was “a military facility used by the Yemenis to manufacture drones used in attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.”

The recent airstrikes also come against the backdrop of Yemeni missiles targeting the US aircraft carrier Harry Truman. The carrier was forced to make a sharp evasive maneuver, causing an F-18 fighter jet to slip off the deck and sink into the Red Sea.

Yemeni forces ended a blockade on Israeli and Israeli-affiliated vessels transiting the Red Sea. They also stopped hypersonic ballistic missile attacks on “vital Israeli targets” as soon as a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza came into effect. 

Meanwhile, critics in the US have raised concerns about the high cost of the strikes on Yemen and questioned their effectiveness in weakening the country’s military capabilities.
