Contradiction between the White House and the Pentagon about Yemen

According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, the American publication “Intercept” uncovered the contradiction between the positions of the White House and the Pentagon regarding the presence of American soldiers in Yemen and wrote; While the Pentagon denies information about the presence of its troops in Yemen, the White House confirms it. According to this report, while the White House reported to Congress last month about The War Powers Act announced that “a small number of American military personnel are stationed in Yemen to conduct operations against Al-Qaeda and ISIS in the Arabian Peninsula.” The Pentagon spokesman says he is not aware of the presence of American field forces in Yemen.

This American publication added: While the US is carrying out attacks against the Ansarullah movement in Yemen, it seems that the Pentagon has deployed forces in this country, a fact that the US Department of Defense recently confirmed. He refuses to admit it.

Republishing this report, Al-Mayadeen website wrote: The United States has started its military operations against Sana’a since the beginning of this month under the pretext of targeting ships related to the Zionist regime in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, Sana’a emphasizes that traffic in the Makran Sea (Arabian Sea), the Red Sea and the Strait of Bab al-Mandab is guaranteed for all ships, except for Israeli ships or ships that go to occupied Palestinian ports, until the end of the aggression against Gaza. But recently, due to Washington’s recent aggression against Yemen, American ships have become a legitimate target of the Yemenis in the Red Sea.

The Yemeni network “Al-Masira”, this morning (Saturday), announced the renewed US and British air attack on the west of this country and announced that during two air strikes by the US and the UK “Ras Isa” area in Hodeidah province (western Yemen) was targeted.

This attack was carried out after Brigadier Yahya Saree, the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, announced last night a missile attack on a British oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden.

Yahya Saari announced that the missiles hit the target and caused a fire on the ship. He also emphasized that the operations of the Yemeni army against Israeli ships and ships whose destination is occupied Palestine will continue until food and medicine are sent to the Palestinian people. The Israeli regime has declared its full support for the Palestinian people in Gaza and has emphasized that it will not allow any Israeli ships and ships destined for occupied Palestine to pass through the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait as long as the attacks on Gaza continue.
