US magazine: Britain and US attack on Yemen has no effect

Dianne Pfundstein Chamberlain, an American foreign policy and international security expert, wrote in an article for the National Interest that the US and UK attack on Yemen could lead to support for the Palestinians in Yemen instead of forcing the country to withdraw. This led to large-scale demonstrations by those involved. "The United States, which claims to have the most powerful military in the world, has not been able to stop Yemen from attacking Israeli ships in the Red Sea." Furthermore, "any strategy or choice that makes the use of force easier or politically less costly weakens the effectiveness of U.S. threats." ``In fact, in response to a question about President Biden's intention to launch a land operation, US National Security Council Strategic Affairs Coordinator John Kirby said, ``We do not want war with Yemen.'' "I'm doing it," he explained. He added, ``The United States has been unable to force Yemen to withdraw due to the warning it issued on the 3rd of this month, and from there it is predicted that further attacks by the United States will fail in the same way.''

Yemeni military spokesman Salia said: "Our country is committed to preventing illegal Zionist regime Israeli vessels and other vessels associated with the regime in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until the oppressive war against Gaza is stopped." He reiterated that navigation will continue to be suspended. According to the Arab news agency, Yemeni military spokesperson Salia announced at a press conference on Tuesday the 16th that the Yemeni navy targeted the cargo ship Zografia, which was headed to a port in occupied Israel. Spokesperson Sarria said, ``The ship in question ignored the warnings of the Yemeni Navy and became the target of an attack.'' ``We attacked the ship with missiles, all of which hit.'' He also stated that the Yemeni military's defensive and offensive measures demonstrated substantial solidarity with occupied Palestine and were carried out within the framework of its legitimate right to defend Palestine. Furthermore, unless the invasion of the Gaza Strip is stopped and the blockade of the Strip is lifted, Zionist Israeli shipping and vessels associated with the Zionist regime in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait will be blocked. I did. Following the adoption of a resolution by the United Nations Security Council, the United States and the United Kingdom launched an attack on Yemen's Ansarullah organization in the early hours of the 12th of this month. In recent weeks, Yemeni forces have targeted Israeli Zionist vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as well as vessels headed toward the occupied Israeli territory, in support of the Palestinian resistance.
