Tehran – The UK beat Yemen and marks its first joint attack with the US under the Trump administration.
In response, Sanaa’s government warned that “the British enemy must consider the consequences of its entanglement,” and denounced the UK’s involvement in a US-led campaign against Yemen.
The warning follows the UK’s announcement of a joint airstrike with the US in the southern part of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
According to an official statement from Sanaa, the attack is “part of an ongoing effort by the American and British enemies to support the Israeli enemy.”
The purpose it emphasizes is to curb Yemen’s support for Palestine and allow the “Zionist regime” to intensify the massacre in Gaza.
The statement declared that Sanaa “will stand up to the allies along with the evil trio, the US, the UK, the Zionist regime and their allies, along with their strength.”
The British said they joined the US Air Force by targeting what they claimed was “a military facility used by Yemenis to manufacture drones used in attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.”
The nighttime strike was carried out by the Royal Air Force Typhoon Jets, hitting a site about 25 kilometres south of Sanaa, according to the British Ministry of Defense.
The operation marks the first coordinated US and British attacks on Yemen since US President Donald Trump launched an intensified airstrike in mid-March.
The US-led campaign has dealt with Yemen’s new military support front in solidarity with Gaza, after the Israeli administration unilaterally ended a ceasefire with Hamas and resumed its massacre campaign in a blocked Enclave.
Recent airstrikes also oppose the background to the Yemeni missiles targeting US aircraft airline Harry Truman.
Carrier was forced to do a sharp evasion, and an F-18 fighter jet slipped off the deck and sank into the Red Sea.
Yemeni forces have ended the blockade of Israel and Israeli-affiliated ships passing through the Red Sea. They also halted polar ballistic missile attacks against “critical Israeli targets” as soon as the 60-day ceasefire took effect in Gaza.
Meanwhile, US critics raised concerns about the high cost of strikes against Yemen, and questioned their effectiveness in undermining the country’s military capabilities.
