In a recent military operation, the Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted the American military cargo ship “Ocean Jazz” in the Gulf of Aden using naval missiles on January 22, 2024. The operation, carried out with the help of Allah, is a response to what the Yemeni Armed Forces perceive as American and British aggression. In a statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces, they affirm that any new attack will not go unanswered.
They have also made it clear that they will continue their efforts to prevent Israeli ships from sailing to the ports of occupied Palestine until the aggression is stopped and the blockade on the Palestinian people in Gaza is lifted. This action is seen as a part of their ongoing support for Palestine and their commitment to defending Yemen against external threats.
The statement further asserts that the Yemeni Armed Forces will take both defensive and offensive measures to protect Yemen and respond to any American or British aggression by targeting all sources of threat in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. This strong stance is underlined by the declaration that “Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.”
The message concludes with a resounding call for the longevity of a free, proud, and independent Yemen, and victory for Yemen and all free nations. The statement is dated January 22, 2024 AD, and has been issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces.
This latest development adds to the ongoing tensions in the region and raises concerns about the potential escalation of conflict. The targeting of an American military cargo ship in a strategic waterway like the Gulf of Aden is likely to have significant implications for international relations and maritime security.
The actions of the Yemeni Armed Force are likely to draw strong condemnation from the United States and its allies, further complicating an already volatile situation in the region. The potential for a wider conflict involving multiple actors remains a cause for concern, and diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions will be crucial in the coming days.
