Pentagon: We expect the Red Sea Alliance to expand

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the spokesperson of the US Ministry of Defense claimed that the attacks of the Houthis (Yemen’s armed forces) have affected the world economy and threaten commercial shipping.

He said that the US will continue close consultations with its allies and partners and expects the Red Sea Alliance to expand.

Yemen’s Ansarullah, which currently controls a large part of this country, since the beginning of Israel’s attacks in Gaza, has announced that ships owned by, under the flag of, or destined for Israel are in the sea Red targets the attack. Despite this, Ansarullah has stated that the Red Sea is safe for other ships.

The Axios news base, close to American and Zionist sources, reported last week that the threats and attacks of the Yemeni army in the past days caused The journey of Israeli ships has become longer and more expensive.

According to Axios, in the past few weeks, ships bound for other ports outside of Israel have also had to use longer routes to avoid being the target of attacks. The Yemenis should not be found.

In recent weeks, parallel to the intensification of Israel’s attacks in Gaza, the Yemeni army has also narrowed the field for Israeli ships that intend to pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea. .

So far, the American and Israeli officials have not been able to find a solution to deal with the Yemeni army. In its report two weeks ago, the Axios website quoted a senior Israeli official as claiming that Netanyahu’s war cabinet has decided to refrain from military response to the actions of Yemen’s Ansarullah in the Red Sea against Israeli ships for the time being.

The US President Joe Biden’s government has sent a message to Ansarullah through several channels, asking them to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.

But the American officials admit that these warnings have not had any effect on the Houthis (Ansarullah) and they have not reduced the intensity of their attacks.

The formation of a new naval coalition is one of the other options that the US and Israel plan to form to deal with the Yemeni army. Despite this, the non-participation of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has made the success of this plan uncertain.

Mohammed Abdus Salam, the spokesman of the Ansarullah movement, said on Tuesday that the attacks of the Yemeni armed forces would be ignored. It will continue depending on whether the American coalition is formed or not.
