The United States military says it has sunk three boats waging an attack on a container ship in the Red Sea as it continues its patrol mission to counter threats from Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
Helicopters from two US warships – the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely – shot at the “Iranian-backed Houthi small boats” in self-defence on Sunday morning while responding to an SOS call from the Singapore-flagged vessel Maersk Hangzhou, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The US helicopters sunk three of the boats, killing several of their crew, it said. A fourth boat escaped.

During the 1973 Yom Kippur War Israel blocked and attacked shipping traffic in the red sea at the suez canal as a way to try to force Egypt into a cease fire. The US was ok with that. So why not be ok with others blocking the red sea to try to get Israel to a cease fire ?
Where is vedio 😂😂😂
American imperialism in act
It’s very uncomplicated.
US Navy vs Houthi pirates.
And regional response? No bueno.
@@user-cg7li8tf3e Yes, a response to pirates in the region.
They sinking ship y’all sinking boats! Why are you boasting about 😂😂😂😂😂
Many commenters here seem confused. The U.S. has been slowly withdrawing from the region as it leans into deglobalization. Once the U.S. fully withdraws naval support, the people of that region will be on their own to fight pirates as they try to import/export goods. Soon, the U.S. won’t care one bit. Have fun!!!
The main problem and why the boats were ultimately sank is because the udiots fired at the helicopters.
Firing off missiles indiscriminately targeted at innocent civilians seems to be a muslim thing.
From now on the Houthis will sink ships not board them. Stupid, arrogant Americans!!
Eff around & find out seventy-two virgins is a scam
free palestine
Houthis are playing with fire.
US helicopters sank three of four after they, US helicopters, were fired on with small arms and team serviced automatic weapons.
How much houthis boat costs
200k$
How much the missile costs which was used to destroy?
2M$
Where those money came from?
Tax
This is bad news all around
Its sad how the world supports these rebel groups now
Isn’t Israel rebellious and deadly too?
I bet the Hooters are scared now
Ana L’imam el mahdi 😂😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Ana King El Nabil happy moments , Im in france 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
Weak missiles aid
Iranian and yemenians missiles another poor missiles
Do you have most expensive missiles aid to terrorist group
i can see the sadness and disappointment of al Jazeera… 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
This is a sick pro Terrorism channel it make me sick 🤮
Wow a whole 10 people… Still boats are blocked…Red Sea belongs to Yemen
No declaration of war by US Congress as required by the Constitution. So where do the US navy get legal authorization for attacking these vessels?
you’re desperate, 😂😂😂😂
Cry baby😂😂😂😂😂
It’s called protecting International Waters my friend. Any Country can defend International Waters. No laws needed to pass for that.
Seahawk 3…Drunk Speedboaters 0. 🤣🤣
Al Jazeera comments section full of support for terrorists.
May God curse the American government for what it has done for Israel
It already has a “curse” upon it, my Friend, for what it has done.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is SAD what poor unarmed Palestinian civilians are going through since 75 plus years .
They should stop supporting hamas
@@Shrav-sj2cv and start supporting evil demon, babies bomber israhell right ? get a life ,waisted all your education if you even had any.
Yes, all because they want to kill jews.
Terrorist usa is supporting other terrorist nation by killing fighters who just want to stop the war in GAZA and still they are called terrorist but remember they are the fighter who fight for peace not for war. So stop selling you past of terrorism to people who knows that usa is the terrorist and usa don’t want a peace in any part of the world.
That’s a weird way to say that the US is defending civilian vessels…
But ehh, why not attack a bunch of ships that are entirely unrelated to the conflict in Gaza.
What could go wrong.
Houthis’ end is coming near.
Houthis can attack those warships if they want to show their braveness.
They only like to make threats, media broadcast and make propaganda that they support their CRIMINAL hamas brothers in Gaza.
What they showed before, Houthis are bunch of COWARDS, who only want to attack ships and vessels which are unarmed, defenseless and with the only intention of business to other people and country.
Houthis ka ithna gaand marenge….
The “religion of peace”
اليمن ليست دولة بنما وليست كغيرها من الدول أبحثو في التاريخ عن اليمن ستعرفو انها مدونه بأسم مقبرة الغزاه
وشعبها مسلح وقبلي وشرس وتضاريس اليمن صعبه ووعره وجبالها شاهقه كل مواطن يمتلك من اثنتين الى ثلاث قطع سلاح خفيف ومتوسط وهم أكثر شعب مسلح في العالم بعد شعب الولايات المتحده الأمريكيه
التحالف الأمريكي اذا فكر يتجرأ على اليمن سيشاهد نجوم اليل في الظهر وسيشاهد ماحصل له في أفغانستان مجرد نزهه مقارنه بالحرب في اليمن
all talk
Here comes this Houthi group again, their minds clouded, ignorant individuals who know nothing about life other than carrying guns. They have no cause to fight for; the war is in Gaza, yet they’re in the Red Sea causing disturbance, unrelated and supporting Iran’s president, whose thinking is twisted, with a mind filled only with thoughts of war.
وها قد عادت هذه الجماعة الحوثية من جديد، عقولهم مشوشة، جهلة لا يعرفون في الحياة سوى حمل السلاح. ليس لديهم سبب للقتال من أجله؛ الحرب في غزة، وهم في البحر الأحمر يسببون اضطرابات، لا علاقة لهم بها ويدعمون الرئيس الإيراني، الذي تفكيره ملتوي، وعقله لا يملؤه إلا أفكار الحرب”.
Why is America trying to start world war 3? What is wrong with these blood thirsty monsters.
yemen could stop attacking civilian ships, that be pretty easy.
@@militant_pacifist Yemen has a legitimate reason to monitor their part of their sea and put pressure on the monsters who get their daily kicks from watching babies and children being massacred… now can you give me a legitimate reason why your favoured monsters attacked them? And don’t reply back to me with a lie “civilian ships” 😂 seriously, for once get your head out of the toilet
It’s soo sad to fathom Muslim countries like Djibouti,Saudi Arabia,Oman,UAE,Qatar,Kuwait,Iraq, Syria,Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain and Somalia are all hosting this Zionizts American war machines military bases on their soils knowing that their brothers and sisters are being ethnic cleansed and unlived in Palestine 🇵🇸 😢😢😢😢 by them.
The begining of escalation in middel east.
MAY ALLAH PROTECT PALESTINE AND YEMEN ❤
Free health care, free education, free weapons and yet they still claim they are the victims
It’s about time the U.S. respond instead of doing nothing.
It is very clear that America is spreading fire all over the world. Now they are open threat for peace.
Those Houthi boats were actually row boats.
nah man don’t confuse them for somali pirates, houthis control a huge portion of yemen and probably have actual navy patrol boats.
They were manned by thousands of innocent palestinian women and children.
What are these radical, Christian terrorists doing in the Red Sea?
USA is supporting terrorist Israel…usa must not infair in red sea… Usa should maintain peace not terrorism
USA is trying to dragg yeman in Israel Palestine war it’s totally wrong
The Houthis did not start fighting with the US army, it was the Americans who started this attack, usually the US states attack and then claim innocence
They just Protect Gaza from genocide.
Al fuc keera is sad
US government dengerous sporting Israeli prime minister Netanyahu
امریکہ یمن پر حملہ کرنے کو تیار ہوجائے یا مشرق وسطٰی سے مکمل طور پر دفع ہو جانے کی تیاری کرے۔
Are we the maids of Israel?
oops, lets add them to the list of civilian casualties in Gaza ~ Gaza Ministry of Health
دمرت دولة فلسطين والشرق الأوسط الفاسدة، دمرت اقتصادها، دمرت دولة المنافق الفاسد…

😂😂😂
Red sea route will simply be abandoned by merchant shippers due to the risk of loosing their vessels. Insurers will declare red sea as a “war zone” and suspend cover or demand hefty premiums as a result.
تحالف حماية اسراويل سيخسر لانهم ظالمين و مجرمين و يخرقون قانون الانسان في حرب غزة
If just india abandoned the Oil import from Saudi do you known how much of the money or percentage they loss? India already informed that there are many other options to import Oil from.
@@Peerlessphantom1188 Less supply means higher prices.
@@jonatand2045 Yep, thus fails a bussiness. Would you prefer to buy a commodity available at 5$ nearer or available at 4$ far by spending transportation charge of 2 dollars?!.
If Israel stops the genocide the trade can resume. The US is very invested in keeping it going though.
Thankyou France, America and the other brave and honorable countries and of course personnel doing their bit in the middle east. As a REAL AUSTRALIAN, I am ashamed at the selfish attitude of our incompetent government. Particularly our narcissistic prime minister and foreign affairs minister. ‘albanese and wong’. Australia should have a warship supporting our allies, but instead our antisemitic, narcissistic prime minister is wasting every cent he can on pointless policies and wasteful use of taxpayers money to build his own little empire!!!
TO ALL THE AUSTRALIAN MILITARY PERSONNEL I SALUTE YOU. THE AUSTRALIAN SOLDIER IS AN EXCEPTIONAL SOLDIER. ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BEST. I KNOW YOU ARE SUBJECT TO ORDERS. GOD BLESS THE ADF.
As for my house and I, we are, 100% FOR ISRAEL.
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT YOU ISRAEL. YOUR FAMILIES,YOUR PRECIOUS LOVED ONES TAKEN HOSTAGE, YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR LEADERS, YOUR HERO MILITARY PERSONNEL AND ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU.
GOD DELIVER YOU FROM THE DEMONIC ANTISEMITIC EVIL ALL AROUND YOU. THANKYOU IDF FOR FIGHTING THE BATTLE AGAINST TERRORISM FOR THE WHOLE OF THE FRÈE WORLD.
THANKYOU IDF FOR FIGHTING TO PROTECT AUSTRALIA FROM TERRORISM.

Aljazera you are t Terror Supporter
How many times does the US have to teach these people a lesson lol
This is political war
Why did this international criminal America intervene the Red sea ?? Instead of stopping the Genocides manipulated by Israeli coward military ….
Western allies always against the interest of Islamic world were disclosed…
Because some idiot attacked civilian shipping vessels…
what did you think was going to happen if you mess with the income of billionaires?
@@militant_pacifist some terrorist governments directly supporting on going genocides in Gaza. World of idiots instead of blaming Israel, U.S and U.K blaming Houthis who are fighting for the justice and with the concept of justice …..
Indeed,World of insanity not able discern the reality.
Tentera laut Yaman di laut Merah untuk menghindari penyuludupan alusita dari negara lain yang masuk ke wilayah isreal bagian gencatan senjata tapi kapal tentara laut Yaman diserang Tentara laut Amerika Serikat. Jelas Amerika Serikat,zionis israel dan sekutu adalah terorisme dan pelaku genosida. Semoga Tentara laut Rusia,Korea Utara,China dan negara di timor tengah bersatu melawan terorisme dan pelaku genosida yaitu Amerika Serikat,zionis israel dan sekutunya.Al-Fatihah.Aaamiin.Ya Allah Ya Robbal ‘alamiin.
You are partially correct. This is an attempt by Iran to drag other countries into the conflict.
As a uk national . Unlike my government i stand for human rights so free Palestine and anyone who helps that cause
Unlikely to expand… clear self defense – don’t attack USN thinking they will do nothing
Now we all know USA 🇺🇸 is a puppet country
This goes to show that the US will risk all out war with Yemen rather than stop Israel’s genocide.
اسرائيل تقود امريكا الا الجحيم
Kick US out from middle east
So houthis can hit any ships and none cant hit houthis?
Ikr how Muslim of them
They are policing their own waters. The US can mind its business and stop involving itself in every foreign territory.
I thought houthis were boasting coz of hvng war ships, jets and modern military capabilites. 😂😂 just watch they will play the victim card later.
The Yemenese government should file a complaint to the UN and the ICC?? Tell me what is the difference between the war in Ukraine and the war in gaza? remember that the west has seized all of russia assets for the war in Ukraine what the different the usa don’t even belong in that area that a regional problem here we go one hand wash the other
Gazzeli çocukların Siyonistler ve kötü niyetli Batı tarafından ezilmesine engel olmaya çalışan en asil ve şerefli Yemenli insanlar 🇦🇪
That water belings to Yemen… wtf is US interfering there? US should gtfo… only Yemen should decide who can use it and who can’t.
We plan, and God laughs!
The Houthis planed to hijack the ships to make money, and hurt Egypt’s economy.
The merchandise in those ships WILL get to Yemen at higher prices.
The irony of the world.
Let’s see how people try to turn this into the US “escalating” after defending a cargo ship going through an international trade route.
more jew wars
الثأر يجري بدماء اليمنيين عندما يظلم فرد منهم فانه يسقط دوله وعندما يمس جيشهم بسوء فانه يسقط امبراطوريه موقفنا ثابت مع الحق ومع الإنسانية ودماء أهل غزه ليست اغلاء من دمائنا 🇾🇪❤️🇵🇸
If you love Palestinians why don’t you take them into Yemen
اليمن يجب أن تكون خارج عقولهم أنت خارج عقلك وهمي
Yemen The Houthis do not intercept commercial ships belonging to other countries, they only intercept ships belonging to Israel due to the destruction, siege, and forced displacement of the population of Palestine from Gaza.
Yemen has the right to defend Gaza
US when Israel try to sink USS liberty- …………..
US when Houtis attack Isreal ship- UNACCEPTABLE THIS MEANS WAR
You’re confusing Israel with Denmark. Also, this was not a warship. And the Houthis attacked the US, so they were sunk. That’s what you do with pirates, it’s really no big deal.
As an American citizen I’m sick and tired of The US being the world police force! 😠
Arabs need to step up the game and have their own navies deal with pirates.
USA terror state.
Goodness gracious, can we please pull those war machines back and stop killing people????
Houthis are not freedom fighters , but these terrolists
Who is in whose territory, who is bombing whose property/land and people?
Yaman❤❤❤❤
Stand With Humanity ✌️
Stand With Palestine 🇵🇸
I’d rather stand with the Good Lord. Humanity is doomed.
That’s standing against God’s teachings.@@drivebyquipper

Major shipping companies have already informed their vessels to avoid the Red Sea route and travel via South Africa. Guess what? We will pay more …for everything! Sounds good doesn’t it?
Fish food
Must be true if it’s on the news 😂
Jabootay hahahahha is that a real name of a place
Its not enough that they financially bankroll isreal and send them weapons, they also attack people in their own waters. How is the USA not classed as a terrorist state/organisation. The US has no business being in the Red sea
Where are the Arab leaders? Those traitors!
US has no right there. RED sea belongs to Yemen
