“In a triumph for the oppressed people of Palestine, and within the response to the American-British aggression. The Naval Forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces and, with the help of God, have carried out two military operations in the Red Sea; the first targeted the American ship “Star Nasia,” while the other one targeted the British ship “Morning Tide”, with suitable naval missiles, and strikes were direct and accurate.
The Yemeni Armed Forces will carry out more military operations against all hostile American-British targets in the Arab and Red seas, with the right to respond to the aggression and the right to defend our beloved Yemen and its people.
The Yemeni Armed Forces emphasize the continuation of their military operations in the Red Sea against Israeli shipping or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine until the siege is lifted and the aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is stopped.”

The United Nations reiterated its plea for all parties involved in conflicts in the region to step back from the brink and consider the immense human and economic toll of a potential regional conflict.
Emphasizing the continued volatility of the area, it called for the formulation and execution of a clear political roadmap aimed at resolving the ongoing conflicts.
During a Security Council meeting discussing recent escalations in the region, including US strikes in Yemen, Syria, and Iraq, Rosemarie DiCarlo, the under-secretary-general for political and peacebuilding affairs, renewed calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and the unconditional release of all Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
The UN has repeatedly cautioned against the risk posed by Hamas’ October 7 attacks on Israel and the ensuing conflict in Gaza, warning of the potential for a broader regional escalation. Subsequent to these attacks, there have been nearly daily incidents across multiple countries, with approximately 165 attacks on US targets in Syria and Iraq, prompting retaliatory strikes from Washington.
On January 28, a drone attack resulted in the deaths of three American personnel and injuries to 40 others at a US military outpost in northeastern Jordan, marking the first combat fatalities among US forces in connection to the current regional crisis. The US attributed the attack to the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, with President Joe Biden vowing accountability for those responsible.
