Despite the constant U.S. airstrikes against Yemen, Washington has not succeeded in its objective of curbing Yemeni operations against vessels linked to Israel in solidarity with the Palestinian cause. According to reports, U.S. bombings intensified on March 15 following an order issued by former President Trump.

Al Jazeera reported that a U.S. official stated that since the beginning of the campaign, Washington has targeted over 300 sites in Yemen, utilizing B2 bombers deployed from Diego Garcia military base.

However, authorities admit that it is “premature” to assess the effectiveness of these operations, as “the Houthis can still attack U.S. Navy and other ships in the region,” the source noted.

The White House has repeatedly emphasized that aggressions against Yemen will continue until actions against vessels linked to Israel cease in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and Gulf of Aden. Nevertheless, Yemeni officials assert that they will maintain their operations until aggression against the Palestinian people stops.

In a recent military deployment, the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson arrived in Southwest Asia to reinforce U.S. presence after Ansar Allah claimed that another ship, the USS Truman, had retreated northward in the Red Sea after being threatened by Yemeni missiles and drones. The intense U.S. bombings, which have also involved participation from the United Kingdom against civilian infrastructure, have failed to weaken Houthi resistance.

The ongoing conflict highlights the complexities of regional dynamics and the challenges faced by external powers attempting to influence outcomes in Yemen while grappling with broader geopolitical issues related to Palestine and Israeli interests.
