The US has realized that the military strategies being used against the Yemeni Armed Forces have proven to be zilch, useless, and ineffective.

According to a report by CNN, citing officials familiar with the situation, the amount and frequency of strikes against Yemen in response to the targeting of Western ships in the Red Sea in support of Gaza are not producing the results that the US wants to see.

The report details that the strikes made the Yemeni forces move in deeper and stronger, and hide better.

This comes two days after Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi said during a televised speech that the Yemeni Armed Forces have developed the existing missiles in their arsenal to the point that they have become too advanced for the US forces to intercept, as they have failed to block them from reaching their ships.

The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to support the oppressed Palestinian people through the Red and Arabian Seas he said in light of the latest developments in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

He added that the Israeli occupation carried out all forms of genocide, murder, and starvation against the Palestinian people in Gaza as the United States insists on participating in these crimes by providing arms to the Israeli occupation, while the majority of the world stands idle or even goes as far as supporting the Israeli occupation.

The challenge has already been acknowledged by United States Navy Vice Admiral Brad Cooper said during an interview on CBS's '60 Minutes', that the engagement against the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea constitutes one of the most significant naval battles the US has encountered in decades.

"I think you'd have to go back to World War II where you have ships who are engaged in combat," Vice Adm. Brad Cooper told the host, Norah O'Donnell, before adding "When I say engaged in combat, where they're getting shot at, we're getting shot at, and we're shooting back."

Cooper, the deputy commander of the US Central Command, informed O'Donnell that approximately 7,000 sailors from the Navy were deployed to the Red Sea.
