#Houthi #Military #Yemen
Yemeni naval operations are ethical and will continue until the genocide crimes in Gaza are stopped and food, medicine and fuel are allowed to enter its residents.
We advise the countries that threatened Yemen in their joint statement to seek to stop crimes in Palestine, not to protect their perpetrators, and to address the causes of the problem, not its consequences.
We stress that our operations only target ships linked to Israel, not with the aim of seizing or sinking them, but rather with the aim of changing their course to increase the cost to Israel as a pressure card to stop its aggression and allow food, medicine and fuel to enter Gaza.
The claim of the signatory countries to the statement that our naval operations ultimately endanger the movement of food, fuel and vital humanitarian aid around the world reveals the extent of their hypocrisy, because they are the ones preventing food, fuel and humanitarian aid from reaching those besieged in Gaza and the goal of our action is to break its inhumane siege.
To Americans international laws only applies to our benefits
Yemen can take palestinian refugess and feed them it would be a lot cheaper than all the money they are wasting on military equipment you could actuallly feed and house the palestinians.

Fight the devil Amerika
You all live in a lie and not in freedom
Ahhh ol no-neck. Thanks for the report.
bunch of stupid talking nonsense !
USA can act only WITH COALITION dragging others into war.
Hamas – Israeli crisis is resolved already if USA is acting as NEUTRAL ZONE PACIFYING the conflict but THE WORRY IS BACKING ISRAEL WAR ON GAZA WHILE IGNORING INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNATION.
😢😢😢
Best defense is offense
🗳️🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🗳️
NATO must be strengthen immediately. Matthew 24:6 ” … and you will hear of wars and rumors of wars . See that you are not alarmed , for this must take place , but the end is not yet. “
Hou this trying to make trouble?
Dear So called peacemakers of West&USA and SO CALLED UK ,, IT’S not YAMEN OR huthish, it’s GAZA…. You have totally destabilize the middle East for your Weapon industry only
….. So shameful…
☝🇪🇭🇪🇭😡
Don’t know who is against who
Defending ourselves, what are you talking about we live thousands of miles away. there is plenty of other routes. If Houthis or Hezbollah sends shiping products and do business in our part of the world what do you think we would do?
Why does the news always say “Iran backed houthis” “Iran backed Hamas” “Iran backed hezbullah” but never “America backed Israel “?
Israel is a sovereign state and all those others are terrorists organizations…. Also, Israel is a much wealthier and independent country than you realize lol. Almost all funding sent to Israel is used to buy American military goods and also the relationship is highly reciprocal (Israel provides services to the US). If you’re gonna call it “US backed Israel” you’d have to label 60-70 other countries “US backed”
One is actually a country. The others…
@@Rob774 it’s a country because USA backs it and USA decided to make it a country. Americans are seriously slow this thing you call news turns your brains to mush. No critical thinking skills whatsoever.
Yemen has right to defend itself from destabilizing outside forces in the region.
That press conferance had to be a parody it seems that america is tone deff …….”they need to leed effot in diplomatic effots “” JESUES 4KINGS CHRIST are yhese ppl for real? after all they have done to aid isreal in it’s genocidal campagine in gaza
You can’t convince me that’s not Cheri Oteri
Blinken has been proven to be useless in solving the crisis, and now it is getting escalated further for a much wider conflict.
I’m sick to my stomach, my body hurts, having done the research, how our people will be slaughtered by the middle east. Someone please report the truth!
Who are “your people” ?— no one knows who you are on here lol
Quote ” US does not seek conflict,”but in every war, US is involved. What a joke?
Joe knows nothing about strong military. He always weasels out.
America Israel mudabad
It’s pretty obvious they’re trying to bait the Americans in some kind of trap.
Can their underwater drones sink our ships?
Everything is possible. No one knows what do houthis have.
Ukrainian drones and missiles rendered Russian warships useless.
Since the Bab al-Mandab straight is 20 km wide, warships are very vulnerable in this passage.
We need leaders in our country not clowns in clown costumes
too late to act!!
America is fighting the war of and for Israel
Same typical story for the last 75 years !
Biden loves war $$$$
Weak administration! Just like the Obama administration. Trump got rid of isis in 6 months in Iraq
What did Brad Cooper say?
Doesn’t Israel have a navy? Why aren’t they dealing with this?
As long as the U. S. administration keeps wanting to be the world’s police other countries will sit back and reap the rewards. Chinese govt is behind all of this, including Ukraine and Russia war directly and indirectly by supplying these countries with money and arms through 3rd parties and shell companies. They want to weaken us. They are trying to bankrupt the U. S. like we did to the Soviet Union in the 80’s so when they make their move on Taiwan it will be harder for the U. S. to help defend them. What’s sad is Satan and the illuminati(his worshippers) or whatever they call themselves, are pulling the strings. Satan knows he can never defeat God so he wants as many people in the world to die in sin.
So this is basically the Houthis protesting a genocide that no one else is trying to stop, yet we create a coalition to stop their protesting instead of addressing the root of the problem… 🇮🇱 and rhe govt officials like Blinken that they own
Whats the evidence to suggest Israel/US not involve in the terrorist attack on Iran??its them is Israel statesponsors 9f terrorism
If US can protect their interests and their allies, so can Iran and Houites. What’s wrong with that. US is the terrorist country
The leader of other countries at the U.N meeting room : We agree if there is a ceasefire in Israel-Palestine war. But we are condemning Houthi attack in red sea.
U S and U.S’ Allience at the U.N meeting room : We disagree if there is a peace agreement but we agree if there is a ceasefire in Israel-Palestine war for a few a day and we are condemning Houthi attack in red sea.
You can judge Who is honest and selfish 🤔🤫🎭😔🙏.
Are they afraid that their Economic Growth will fall big enough (Real GDP Growth will fall under 1,3% in this year, 2024 and External Debt will increase upper 400 billion this year, 2024). Sources : IMF and WEO. Happy anniversary for the Israel-Palestine war this week 🤫🤒🤒😔🙏. I’m sorry if my statement is wrong 🙏
Sure Kirby….. you didn’t attack shipping in the red sea but you did & still do give military support to Israel’s obscene attack on Gaza
USA lost all credibility.
US has no right to defend it self in the red Sea,it should just seek negotiation with countries where the red Sea belong
How frustrating it must be for the Houthis. They’ve been trying to drag Biden into this war by hook and by crook but nothing they can do (so far!) has worked. The Biden Administration has no stomach for a fight with the Houthis even though the US Navy has everything they need in weapons and manpower to destroy them. Is it caution? Or is it fear? I suspect for the latter, tho given Joe Biden’s mental condition he probably hasn’t a clue as to what is really going on.
Me gusta mucho el programa ❤
Waw🔥🔥 sea drone
What about US backed israel
ISIS was paid to claim responsibility, the perpetrators regrets their actions and looks elsewhere to divert attention, Meanwhile IRAN knows who did the attacked and will surely respond harshly
ISIS never attacked Israel… do yo think Israel is funding ISIS ?
To them it is called realpolitik; where you fund the most amoral groups for geopolitical gains
They are about to get hit hard
Under Geneva convention, the Houthis have EVERY RIGHT AND THEIR ACTIONS ARE LAWFUL. Meanwhile, the US continue to sponsor terrorists whilst being the biggest terrorists worldwide.
What section of the Geneva convention?
Because Article 37 and 38 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea specifically forbids what they’re doing.
@militant_pacifist sorry my bad, it’s article 260A of the UN convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genicide
Now every single zionest media will give full coverage on yamen doing this yamen doing that where was this media on Gaza idf genişinde killed more then 18000 just kids
Handling a possible war? Our President can’t even do enough to handle walking
NBC reporters Won’t even tell the truth anymore anymore they like to lie
We defend ships…Not innocent children
We are morally bankrupt!
Yamanga birga bir kurashmoqlikka aqshning kozi yetmaydi😂😂😂
USA never think they are wrong, they are so afraid of being wrong. Sad.!Mr. Right!
Us full of bs who cares what these bums think Biden can kiss my vote goodbye 👋
so 818 people like with the administration said during that press conference ?
and let’s remember who’s backing Iran the United States Joe Biden administration with all the money they give in Iran
The fanatical muslims are just lIke the fanatical communists…we saw it all before….but, their attacks on Israel will ultimately bring t hem only death and destruction…thus saith the Lord…read your Bible…..
One of the news women looks like a cast member of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE . COULD be a twin sister .
America is a joke.
Israel is clearing out GAZA, all the talk is a coverup. this is the end of these people with in Israels’ borders
welp when d most aggressive country of all time “USA” wants to reach a peaceful solution with talking, AND IRAN n it’s proxies are putting pressure on isreal n USA itself, you could say UNITED shitshow ain’t no super power no more
Iran has nukes and the west knows it!
Usa tha big terar in a world
Ukraine has already used sea drones to attack russian landing ships
Iran means Aryan. Koran gives Jews authority over Israel. Jews were allies of Islam for 1200 years. Sephardic Jews, the 11,000 horsemen, invaded and captured Spain and Portugal for Islam. Before Islam, most of Yemen was a Jewish kingdom.
You slept through China! You lost the war in Ukraine. You are now in the stage of acceptance of reality and anger. I understand you.
American loves fanning the flames of conflict
You are not trusted media, journalist died in Gaza and you did not panic ..your biased.
beware iran have torpedo drone and stealth suicide submarine that can’t be jamming and never revealed by their media
Yooish Kirby is Israeli speak-man in Yooish states
speak-man Miller is also yooish
Blink-Man is also yooish
Question; how long can the owners operators of the Suez Canal, basically the Egyptian Government. Actually afford to lose a drop in Canal Fee’s, from international Commercial Shipping Vessels.
When already Egypt seems to be losing around or between 7 Million to 10 Million US Dollars per day, in Suez Canal revenue not going to the Egyptian Government.
Which could soon add up in Suez Canal revenue loses, to over 280 to 300 Million US Dollars per month to the Egyptian Government, by the end of February or into March 2024.
If these Houthis, Iranian and Somalia Attacks and Hijacking carryon on, or worse increase in level resulting in International Commercial Shipping Vessels and their cargos, being seriously damaged, destroyed and lost.
Or vessels are actually sunk in or by drone attacks, or by anti-ship missiles or cruise missile attacks, let alone by tactical ballistic missile attacks too.
Or more and more vessels, their cargo plus crews, are hijacked by either Houthis, Iranian’s and Somalia’s too, then taken to Yemen or to Iran even, to be held for ransom claiming Tens of Millions in US Dollars for their release.
Whether these Attacks and Hijacking’s take place in the Red Sea, or in the Gulf of Aden and in the Arabian Sea, maybe even happening in the Persian Gulf too, or basically across the whole of Northern Western Indian Ocean now as well!
With maritime insurance costs going into outer orbit, like an Apollo Moon Shot for all International Commercial Shipping Vessel’s. Daring to risking going through the Suez Canal, then through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, or through the Arabian Sea and/or into the Persian Gulf as well?
Or any International Commercial Shipping Vessel, daring to cross the Northern Western Indian Ocean, or even the Central Indian Ocean head to and from the Straits of Malacca down to Cape Town.
Then around the South Atlantic Ocean coastline of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa, Cape of Good Hope, before sailing up the South Atlantic Ocean heading to Western European Ports or sailing up to North American Eastern Seaboard Ports, plus adding around 11 to 21 extra days of sailing just one way too?
Or could the Suez Canal owners operators the Egyptian Government, be made to go broke by Iranian’s Regime and its agents the Houthis and Somalia’s too, if this goes on right through 2024 and into 2025?
Or will the Americans, British, French and their Nato Allies plus their International Partners, one cannot afford this to go on that long, before having to be forced into taking directly offensive military action against the Houthis, Somalia’s acting on the Iranian Regime orders from Tehran.
Or the Americans, British, French plus Nato Allies and their International Partners, forced into taking direct offensive action even against the Somalia’s and Houthis, plus Hezbollah and Hamas Iranian’s Masters.
As the Iranian Regime are who is behind all this in the first place, also to end this Iranian Terror of the High Seas one way or another plus end this once and for all too?
WHY ARE WE WARNING? AND NOT ACTING?
Because jumping quick into war can bring about a great consequence to our servicemen overseas and us here. Think ffs
Go home USA 🇺🇸 👿💩
amerika israil terorist
The israelis, who are the illegal occupiers of Palestinian land, according to everybody, cut off food and medicine and water to 2 million civilians, half of them children. The houthis said they would impose a naval blockade only on ships heading to israeli ports, until israel stops preventing food, water, medicine from entering the gaza strip. Since what israel is doing is a war crime, then actually the houthis are doing the job of the US and UN by holding the zionists accountable for breaking international law and committing war crimes. The US should not stand in defense of cutting off food and water from 1 million children. This is why the world hates the US, they always side with the oppressor and escalate the violence.
Don’t vote for people that get you into pointless wars with opponents you can’t defeat.
Hamas could have chosen peace, instead they chose war.
AMERICA IS ALL TALK AND NO BALLS FOR ACTION 😅😅
The US has a carrier strike group off the cost of Yemen.
A single aircraft carrier contains more air power than Yemen can muster.
The world is not what is wars many yrs ago. These people do not care.
Mainstream media are pro war propaganda
Kirby Isreal are backed by America so y have a girly rant about Iran😂
Zionist took over America now
C I A
What’s with this woman. Why is she so intense about it. Is she trying to explain something ? Two ships linked to the genocidal jewish state are burning off of Maldives as she speaks
I have not found in the world the same people as the people of Yemen who love death for the sake of God as much as you love life
People of faith and wisdom My greetings to the Yemeni people and the Palestinian people
America is a terrorist and is not fit to lead human rights and freedoms. Rather, this story has become merely a trumpet that America sings about. We have known America’s cunning and we do not forget its war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now it wants to involve itself in Yemen. Yemen is poison.
Any tactician know that to succeed in military operations you maximize your strengths to overcome the enemy’s. Control of the Red Sea corridors is a strength utilizing guerrilla warfare.
And why does the United States need to be paying for this?
wow ,defensive posture Yemen is trying to stop the genocide done by US backed ISRAEL by sending money weapon .
Masha ALLAH, Houthies proved themselves really the sons of Salahu Deen.love from Pakistan.
Isis is us paid soldiers
Wow, civilians all over the globe are already fighting wars in YouTube comments. I wonder -as ‘non-state actors’, are they: *Terrorists or
*Freedom fighters?
Or just victims of propaganda abuse?
No,its not ISIS, US and Israel were the culprits in those terrorist attacks in Iran 💯👌
US now is a joke🙄no more power to warn anyone 😂
Take the war to America… since they love to start wars every where except in America
They know biden won’t do anything
Jajajaja. Always on the defence side. How many millions of people worldwide has the US killed innocent humans?
No please say the truth
1. Trading is called a scary business in economy terminology, yemen by firing 500$ drones ruining 220million$ /day business for Israel
2. Each antidrone missile for US costs 2 million $ do calculation
Jesus may save the world
War game is the sport of our politicians and leaders..
The happenings now are the close up to War World 3 (WW3).
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone.There have been numerous happenings the prelude and introduction to WW3.
There is no such thing as ISIS. It is a rerrorist group created, very likely by the U.S., to carry out its agenda. Surely you do not think the world is so gullible as to accept the I.S.I.S. nonsense coming out of the mouth of Western leaders, and hyped up by Western media.
If anyone deserves an ISIS outbreak, it is Iran.
