The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier was fleeing towards the north of the Red Sea and far away from it when it was targeted, said Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement.

During a televised speech, the Ansar Allah leader noted that before the USS Eisenhower made its final withdrawal, it was targeted by the Yemeni Resistance, which forced it to drastically curve and flee to the Suez Canal. 

Sayyed al-Houthi vowed that any new aircraft carrier deployed in the Red Sea would be a target for the Yemeni Armed Forces, adding that "If the new aircraft carrier is willing to venture, get involved and tangled up in the same issue the Eisenhower found itself in, then it should come, and it would be its loss." 

He affirmed that the new aircraft carrier would be exposed to the danger of Yemen's developed rockets, which cannot be avoided or prevented. 

Al-Houthi further stated that Yemen's operations are "clearly impacting the Americans, Israelis, and British." 

The crime of the century 

Speaking on Gaza, Sayyed al-Houthi said the Israeli occupation continues its aggression and the "crime of the century" against the Gaza Strip, committing over 3380 massacres so far against civilians. 

He stressed that the occupation carried out over 20 massacres this week alone, causing more than 1,200 casualties between killed martyrs and injured Palestinians. The occupation destroyed a residential square in the al-Shati camp, killing more than 50 martyrs and injuring tens of Palestinians, he further added. 

Sayyed Al-Houthi then expressed his sincerest condolences to the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, whose sister was killed in a massacre on Tuesday, alongside her children. 

He said the Israeli occupation's gruesome crimes exposed its "level of monstrosity, violence, criminality, vileness, and hatred." He gave the example of the Israeli raid on a home owned by an elderly Palestinian woman in the Jabalia refugee camp, during which Israeli occupation forces unleashed a police dog to eat her flesh while she was alive. 

"The Israeli enemy, in every sense of the world, cannot be coexisted with, and the struggle against it is the right and wise decision. There is no other option," the Resistance leader said. 

He also discussed the events unfolding in the West Bank, saying "The murders and arrests of Palestinians and the storming of their homes continue daily, while the occupation also storms the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque, insulting Islam and Muslims, with their partner's support, the United States."

He affirmed that the United States was still supplying the Israeli occupation with military aid and shipments of destructive bombs that continued to be used to destroy and kill the people of Palestine.

He recalled reports by Israeli media outlets revealing the arrival of over 400 weapon shipments sent from the US "to support the Israeli enemy since the beginning of the aggression against Gaza."

The occupation is in real trouble

On Gaza's support fronts, Sayyed al-Houthi ascertained that the Israeli occupation was in real trouble due to Hezbollah's intense operations. 

He said "Israel" worked with the US on a psychological warfare campaign against Lebanon by claiming a full-scale war would be launched against it, and several countries in the Gulf empowered such claims. 

"The enemy speaks of a full-scale war with Lebanon, knowing fully well its risky and destructive consequences. What the Israeli enemy will suffer if it gets involved against Hezbollah is more than what could be imagined," he warned. 

He also commended Resistance fighters in Iraq and the people of Iraq, amid the four joint operations the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out with the Iraqi Resistance. 

"The joint operations with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq follow a very important path that embodies the hopes of our Arab people for unity, cooperation, and brotherhood." 

On the slanderous US drug abuse claims

Al-Houthi responded to American accusations claiming the Yemeni Army is funded through drug smuggling, slamming them as "slanderous and extremely ridiculous", because Yemen was one of the countries fighting the spread of drugs the most. 

"The American, through its hostile efforts, is trying to misrepresent our dear people and Armed Forces with claims of drug smuggling," he said, adding that the US greatly contributes to the spread of drugs to corrupt the people and youth, and seeks to transform it to vital trade across oppressed and targeted countries. 

According to al-Houthi, the largest rates of drug abuse are among Americans, and Trump even accused Biden of consuming them. 

Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "Our Armed Forces and people, considering their faith, morals, and ethics, fight the use of drugs, with our security apparatuses constantly working to combat it as well." 

Arab and regional discontent with 'Israel' is growing 

Al-Houthi pointed out that there are ongoing student protests at European universities, in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, and other countries, that are being brutally oppressed by police and authorities. 

In the Arab region, Sayyed al-Houthi said the Jordanian people are among the most active in protests, and have a clear and loud voice compared to other Arab countries. 

Regarding Morocco, he affirmed that demonstrations and popular discontent with the government's policies that support the Israeli occupation, saying "The Moroccan regime, through its supportive policies of the Israeli enemy, is offending and insulting the people of Morocco."
