News - Yemen: A prominent American newspaper has confirmed that the advancement of Yemeni capabilities and the growing complexity of maritime operations are heightening concerns among American, Israeli, and British officials.

In a recently published report, The New York Sun stated that American air operations have failed to curb Yemeni capabilities; instead, they have emboldened them.

The paper quoted experts saying that Yemeni attacks indicate a strategic evolution in both capabilities and intent, raising serious concerns for the US, Israel, and their allies.

It added that what’s most alarming to intelligence and naval officials is the increasing complexity of Yemeni attacks.

The report noted that four months after declaring war on Israel, the Yemenis have turned the Red Sea into a modern naval testing ground.

In this context, the newspaper cited the former British ambassador to Yemen, who said: “Deterring the Yemenis is no easy task. They are resilient and difficult to break.”

Meanwhile, the director of the Middle East Program at the Defense Priorities think tank said: “The solution to the Red Sea problem is to pressure Israel to stop the war on Gaza.”

She added: “As long as shipping companies remain hesitant or continue passing the costs to consumers, Yemen’s strategy will succeed.”

These statements highlight the extent of the impact caused by the US defeat in the face of Yemen and the intensifying military operations deep inside Israeli-occupied territories.

These actions are framed as part of a broader Yemeni strategy to enforce an aerial and naval blockade on the Israeli enemy in response to its war crimes and humanitarian blockade of Gaza. By continually threatening key points in occupied Palestine, the Yemeni forces aim to create both material and psychological pressure to halt the assault on Gaza and open humanitarian corridors.

The Yemeni government and Armed Forces have repeatedly stated that their operations are defensive and moral in nature, declaring unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian cause and vowing to continue their strikes until the siege on Gaza is lifted and the aggression ends.
