Yemeni Escalation Exposes American Vulnerability

The Zionist entity, feared by Arab regimes, continues to suffer blow after blow from the Yemeni Armed Forces. Its “settlers” have grown accustomed to rushing to shelters. The Zionist entity’s warnings to its settlers take various forms, depending on the assessed threat level by Zionist authorities. Ultimately, as confidence in the Israeli air defense system’s ability to counter Yemeni weaponry wanes, the instructions boil down to heightened caution, vigilance, and—when all else fails—resorting to shelters.

Escalation Met with Escalation

The Zionist enemy has intensified its brutal attacks against innocent Palestinians, while rogue America has escalated its assaults on Yemeni civilian targets. In response, Yemen has confronted both fronts, amplifying its missile and drone strikes.

In recent days, Yemen has reaffirmed that the betrayal of Palestine by Arabs and Muslims will never be Yemen’s stance. The operations continued throughout Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, embodying the promise to respond to escalation with escalation. This approach also serves as a direct rejection of the impunity doctrine exposed by Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badruldeen al-Houthi after the escalation of Israeli aggression and American military attacks.

This dynamic has put Washington in an increasingly embarrassing and worrying position. Yemen continues to craft a new reality, blunting America’s claws and fangs while leaving it incapable of finding a fitting response to halt Yemen’s progress. As the confrontation drags on, America finds itself more cornered by failure—especially as Israeli frustration grows over the intensifying Yemeni operations.

Failure remains a constant companion of American and Israeli aggressive measures. In Gaza, despite relentless efforts, the enemy and its allies failed to quash the resistance. Hamas and other factions continue to rain painful and demoralizing rocket barrages inside the entity. In Yemen, America has targeted civilian sites, presenting them to the world as military targets linked to Yemeni Armed Forces capabilities. Yet the direct, increasingly frequent, and sophisticated ballistic and drone strikes continue, proving otherwise. This trajectory does not favor America or “Israel.” Persisting on underestimating the strategic impact of these strikes while continuing their reckless actions will inevitably lead both entities toward the beginning of their end. Additionally, this persistence will expose the regimes complicit in killing Palestinians and targeting Yemen.

The Yemeni front affirms that “dozens of daily raids will not deter the Armed Forces from fulfilling their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties. With Allah’s help, they will continue their operations against the Zionist enemy until the aggression on Gaza ceases and the blockade is lifted.” This unwavering stance has deeply shaken American political corridors, as the United States has been targeting Yemen for over a decade without achieving any outcomes favorable to America or the Zionist occupation.

Netanyahu: No Retreat from Trump’s Plan

Observing the brutality of the Zionist-American alliance reveals a striking resemblance in their atrocities. Both carefully select civilian targets, refugee camps, and humanitarian workers, while the Zionist entity continues its thuggery in Lebanon and Syria. This alignment in targeting the Arabic people and destroying civilian infrastructure confirms the enemies’ persistent pursuit of normalizing their acts of aggression.

Nonetheless, Yemen remains unwavering in its principled stance. The longer this humanitarian and ethical position endures, the more the enemies’ prestige and influence erode. If this pace continues or new surprises emerge, reality will undoubtedly witness a further diminishing of America’s dominance as the leader of the hostile campaign against Arabs and Muslims.

The New York Times reported that the U.S. administration faces growing questions about its overall strategy in Yemen, particularly after previous American strikes under the Biden administration failed to achieve their objectives. The current administration has yet to present evidence of a different approach or its potential for better outcomes. Local reports indicate civilian casualties from some strikes without any official comment from U.S. Central Command, as highlighted by the New York Times.

The newspaper also quoted Middle East experts who noted that defeating Yemen “is not an easy task, especially given their resilience over the past seven years against Saudi military campaigns and American strikes under Biden’s tenure.”

Trump’s Threats: An “Empty Gun”

Inside the occupied entity, elites mock Trump’s outbursts, which he repeats every time he faces a new setback—whether it’s an attack on warships or missiles and drones reaching targets within the entity. His calls for escalation and his insistence on eliminating the “Yemeni threat” are met with skepticism.

The Zionist occupation’s Brigadier General Zvika Haimovich, former commander of air defense in the Zionist military and strategic advisor, commented on Trump’s threats: “We’ve endured five consecutive days of launches, and once again (for the thousandth time), President Trump’s threats are perceived as an empty gun.” Haimovich added: “The Houthis, who linked their fate with the Palestinians since October 2023, not only pose a troubling threat to Israel but also challenge the international coalition led by the United States, putting President Trump to the test.”

With Trump’s aggressive rhetoric failing to bring about tangible changes, Haimovich noted that inside the entity, they increasingly rely on defensive capabilities and early warning systems to protect civilians.

Yemen: Unwavering in Principle

The blockade of the Red Sea will remain firmly imposed on the Israeli and American enemies and anyone collaborating with them in violating the nation’s sovereignty. The ban on flights to Lod Airport (Ben Gurion) will continue, as it is a matter of principle that cannot be compromised. America cannot continue legitimizing its support for the Zionist entity’s genocidal war in Gaza while denying others the right to defend the oppressed Palestinians.

There remains hope for a transformative awakening within the Arab world that restores the region’s peoples and regimes to their authentic religious, moral, and humanitarian foundations—acting to rescue women, children, and the elderly in Gaza and the West Bank. Such a position requires no justification. Netanyahu openly declares that he will not leave Gaza until all Zionist prisoners are released without conditions, the resistance disarmed, and all its leaders are expelled. Moreover, he insists on implementing Trump’s plan—a strategy known to all and hidden from none.
