The Deputy Foreign Minister of Sanaa, Hussein El-Ezzi, affirmed that Yemen is fully aware of the United States' possible hostile plots against the country, holding it fully accountable for the ramifications of its "foolishness".

In a post on X, El-Ezzi threatened Washington that it would be left unable to "find one secure path in the region" in case it commits any aggressive action, noting that "its interests would be legitimate targets for all free people."

El-Ezzi subsequently called on Washington to cease its aggressive stance against Yemen, before its "defeated ideas lead it to long-lasting hell."

نحن على علم بماتخطط له واشنطن من أعمال عدائية ومن الآن نحملها مسؤولية تداعيات حماقاتها المحتملة ضداليمن لأنها قد لا تجد في المنطقة طريقا واحدا(آمنا) وستكون مصالحها هدفا مستداما لكل الأحرار

كرجل سلام أنصحها بإنهاء توجهاتهاالعدائية قبل أن تأخذها الأفكار الفاشلة إلى جحيم طويل الأمد

This comes amid the US' continuous mobilization of internal agents to shake Yemeni stability after it failed to deter its forces in the Red Sea.

Earlier today, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree, announced that the YAF's naval forces targeted a British oil vessel in the Red Sea. He confirmed that the targeting was carried out with several suitable naval missiles, achieving a direct hit.

The Yemeni armed forces also successfully shot down an American MQ9 drone above Saada Governorate using an appropriate missile, as it engaged in hostile missions against Yemen.

USS Dwight D Eisenhower leaves Red Sea after failing to stop Yemenis

USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and USS Gravely successfully transited the Suez Canal, after nearly four months stationed in the Red Sea, the Navy announced on Friday.

During its stay in the Red Sea, the US battle group failed to halt Yemeni operations against maritime navigation linked to the Israeli regime as operations continued.

According to a news release from US Naval Forces Europe-Africa, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, serving as the flagship of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, along with the USS Gravely, have now entered the Eastern Mediterranean. Their exact duration in the region remains undisclosed.

The deployment of the Ike Carrier Strike Group on October 13th, followed by its navigation towards the Red Sea, was primarily focused on participating in Operation Prosperity Guardian.

However, the news release notably omitted the current locations of the USS Mason and USS Philippine Sea, the other components of the Ike CSG. USS Mason, akin to USS Gravely, has been actively engaged in defending the Israeli occupation.
