On Saturday, Abdul Malik al-Haucci claimed the move came in the context of a series of American defeats in the campaign against Yemen, the press reported.
He highlighted the recent targeting of Red Sea airlines in Yemen’s USS Harry S. Truman aircraft, noting that such actions have changed the vessels from symbolism of the US military to responsibility.
Yemeni leaders said repeated attacks neutralized the effectiveness of their carriers and forced the US to deploy additional airlines.
Al Houghty further said that while the US normally used aircraft airlines to project power and threaten other countries, these assets were rather “burden and dangerous” for Washington when it came to conflict with Yemen.
In a recent escalation, the US announced the pending deployment of its second aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson, into the West Asia region. Washington has also announced an extension to the deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman Career Strike Group, which is currently operating in the Red Sea.
Observers say the move means strengthening the US military campaign against Yemen in response to Sanaa’s resuming pro-Palestinian strikes.
US President Donald Trump vowed to “fully annihilate” Ansarlah on his leader’s order that Yemen resumed strikes after Yemen re-violated the genocide war with the Gaza Strip.
In response, Yemeni military forces are implementing multiple operations targeting US naval assets.
Spokesman Yahya Saree recently announced that within 72 hours the Yemeni army had carried out four joint operations against USS Harry S. Truman, using cruise missiles and drones.
