Associated Press: Yemen messed up the equations of America

The American media wrote that the continuation of attacks by Yemeni forces on ships in the important Bab al-Mandab strait in the Red Sea, which are carried out in response to the Gaza war, show that the West has a serious challenge to stop these attacks, while on the other hand, the position of Ansarullah forces has strengthened in the Arab world.

The Associated Press news agency in a report written by its analyst “John Gambrel” entitled “Attacks on ships and shooting down American drones. Yemen’s Houthis are fighting despite US-led airstrikes” warns: “Analysts warn that the longer their attacks last, the greater the risk of disruptions in international shipping will be on the global economy.

On Monday, both Yemeni and Western officials confirmed the occurrence of one of the most serious attacks by the Yemeni army on ships.

The Central Command of the US Army announced: “The Houthis (Ansarullah) targeted the Rubymar cargo ship with the flag of Belize with two anti-ship ballistic missiles, one of which hit the ship.” The Rubymar ship, which previously reported in November about the problem of finding the ship’s propulsion unit, apparently became unusable and its crew had to leave the ship.

Associated Press, in the continuation of this analysis, considered the recent Yemeni attack on the Ruby Mar ship as one of the serious direct attacks on ships, and another example of these attacks was the direct attack in late January on a cargo ship with the flag of the Marshall Islands, which was attacked for hours on end. The fire burned.

This news agency wrote: “Meanwhile, the Houthis published images of an American MQ-9 Reaper drone shot down by a surface-to-air missile near the coast of Hodeidah early on Tuesday; A port in the Red Sea under the control of the Houthis. In these pictures, some men are pulling pieces from the sea into the beach.

The parts shown in this film apparently have writings in English and electronic equipment related to the known parts of the American Reaper drone, a drone that can be used for both offensive and surveillance missions. The Central Command of the US Army and the West Asia branch of the Air Force did not respond to questions from the Associated Press about the downing of this drone. In November, the Pentagon confirmed the loss of one of its MQ-9 drones, which was shot down by Yemenis over the Red Sea.”

Associated Press, pointing out that the Yemeni army has shot down at least four U.S. drones since 2014, including in 2017, 2019 and this year, pointed out several other significant attacks by these forces on ships that the Westerners tried to Hiding their identities included an attack on a ship with a Greek flag called “Sea Champion” which belonged to the Americans and an attack on another ship called “Nevis Fortuna” which, according to this news agency, “carried the flag of the Marshall Islands and declared its destination as Italy.” And it has an all-Chinese crew,” he pointed out.

In the continuation of this article, the Associated Press has put accusations against the Yemenis on the agenda and without mentioning the efforts of the allies of the Zionist regime to hide the identity of the ships that were attacked by the Yemenis, it claims: “Since November, they have repeatedly attacked the ships They were targeted in the Red Sea and surrounding waters in response to Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. They have repeatedly targeted ships with connections to Israel and jeopardized shipping on one of the key trade routes between Asia, the West Asia and Europe.”

Yemen, in support of Gaza, started its attacks on October 31 and carried out dozens of operations after that. The efforts have gone further and following the stupidity of the American coalition by carrying out attacks on different areas of Yemen, Sanaa has expanded its goals and now includes American and British ships.

The Associated Press wrote in its analysis that the United States is still losing its drones worth millions of dollars and firing missiles to confront the Yemenis, which cost millions of dollars, but the Yemenis, on the other hand, have used much cheaper weapons that are suitable for asymmetric warfare. And they continue to strike.

In the following article, this American news agency stated: “The Houthis have not provided much information about their casualties, although they confirmed that at least 22 of their fighters were killed in the attacks led by the United States.” According to the estimate of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Houthis and their allied tribes in Yemen have about 20,000 fighting forces. They are able to operate in small units far from military bases, which makes them more difficult to target than traditional military forces. This is despite the fact that according to the Houthis (Ansarallah), the sudden gain of fame in the Arab world, which is angry about the killing of women and civilians by Israel in the Gaza Strip, balances the costs incurred by them.”

This news agency further states that the US may intensify its aggression in West Asia if the attacks of the Yemeni forces continue.
