The member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, pointed out that US warships are targeting merchant ships in the Red Sea under the pretext of downing a reconnaissance aircraft at sea.

In a post on his account on X, al-Houthi said that US warships are fighting shadows and foolishly threatening international navigation to demonstrate their compliance in protecting Israeli vessels, enabling the occupying Israeli entity to continue committing crimes and massacres against the people of Gaza without any hindrance.

According to the Yemeni official, the optimal solution lies in these warships returning to American territorial waters to defend America's objectives in controlling other disputed areas of influence with some permanent member states of the Security Council.

Earlier, the head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation Mohammad Abdul Salam revealed that a US warship "hysterically" released fire during a Yemeni Armed Forces' exploratory mission in the Red Sea.

Abdul Salam clarified that "while a Yemeni Naval forces reconnaissance aircraft overpassed the Red Sea in an exploratory mission, the American warship hysterically fired using multiple weapons, an act that unveiled its confusion and concern."

He pointed out that one of the missiles fired by the battleship exploded near a Gabon-owned tanker sailing through the Red Sea from Russian ports. 

The top Yemeni official warned that "the Red Sea would be an active battlefield if Washington and its allies remained as imperious as they are now," stressing that "countries that border the Red Sea must recognize the reality of the dangers that threaten their security."

It is noteworthy that on Thursday, the Pentagon announced that 20 nations had joined a US-led coalition, under the name Operation Prosperity Guardian, aimed at safeguarding Red Sea shipping for Israeli-linked vessels from operations carried out by the Yemeni armed forces.

The Yemeni armed forces have carried out several operations on Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance during the Israeli-led genocide in Gaza.
