Meanwhile, satellite images taken on Wednesday and analyzed by the Associated Press showed at least six stealth B-2 Spirit Bombers are now stationed in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, a highly unusual deployment of the movement in Yemen and tensions with Iran.
According to data from casualties released by Houthis, the offensive under U.S. President Donald Trump’s attack on insurgents was an attack on Middle Eastern waters transported by Israel-Hamas War, killing at least 67 people.
When the Trump administration once again linked its airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthis with efforts to put pressure on Iran’s rapidly moving nuclear program, the Trump administration once again linked its airstrikes, the movement showed no sign of a halt. So far, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has not provided details about the campaign and its goals, but the total number of strikes on Tuesday exceeded 200.
“Iran has been weakened due to these attacks and we have seen them eliminated the Houthi leaders,” Levitt said. “They have canceled key members of the strikes on naval and commercial ships, and this action will not stop until freedom of navigation in the region resumes.”
Hottis has not yet admitted the loss of any of its leadership to date – the United States has not yet identified any official’s name. But a message from a signal conversation between Trump administration officials and their public comments suggests that one leader in the rebel missile force is targeted.
The deadly strike was reportedly targeting Hodeida, with potential U.S. air strikes targeting what Houthis, in Mansuriyah district of Hodeida governor, called the “water project”, killing four people and injuring others. The rebels said other strikes were targeted at the pilgrimage, Sada and Sanaa. By Wednesday night, Hushis said about 17 strikes had attacked Sada, one of whom was killed in the strike at the Ras Isa port in Hodida and another was on strike at the telecommunications scene in Jebel Namah Mountain, IBB province.
The rebels said they continued to launch attacks on U.S. warships in the Red Sea, namely, the aircraft carrier Harry S., but the U.S. Navy described the Houthi fire as the most intense battle sailors faced since World War II.
The aircraft carrier Carl Vinson is now in Asia and is heading to the Middle East to support Truman. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said earlier Wednesday that “extra squadrons and other air assets” will be deployed to the area without elaboration.
More than 300 pilots and several A-10 Thunderbolt IIS were also deployed to the Middle East to support the Idaho Aviation National Guard mission. Forces departing from Idaho’s 124th fighter jet departed from Boise and flew the plane as The Warthog. The U.S. Military Central Command, which oversees operations in the Middle East, released images of two A-10 flights in the region on Wednesday.
Planet Labs PBC saw more B-2s on Diego Garcia satellite photos on Wednesday, and the AP conducted an analysis showing at least six nuclear-capable B-2 bombers were deployed at Thunder Bay Camp Thunder Bay on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
Deployment represents one-third of all B-2 bombers in Washington’s arsenal. Seeing many bases abroad is very unusual. Typically, the so-called force mission involving B-2 shows two or three aircraft operations carried out on foreign territory.
The B-2 first took action in the Kosovo War in 1999, and the U.S. military rarely used it in combat because each aircraft was worth about $1 billion. It also lost bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Bombers are located at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where they usually take long-range strikes.
Last year, the United States used Yemen’s B-2 to attack the underground Husseki. If Washington also tries to target Iran’s underground nuclear sites, it may be necessary to use B-2.
Hottis said Tuesday they shot down another U.S. MQ-9 drone nationwide.
The U.S. bombing began on March 15, and the Associated Press review found that the new U.S. action against the Husse under Trump seemed to be more extensive than the bombing led by former U.S. President Joe Biden, as Washington moved from targeting only the launch site to shooting at rank personnel and laying bombs on the city.
A new air strike campaign began after rebels threatened to target Israeli ships and Israel blocked aid to enter the Gaza Strip. The rebels loosely defined the composition of Israeli ships, which meant that many ships could be targeted.
Houthis targeted 100 merchant ships with missiles and drones, hitting two of them from November 2023 to January this year and killing four sailors. They also launched an attack on American warships without success.
The attack greatly enhanced Hossis’s image, which faced economic problems and launched a crackdown on dissidents and aid workers in a stalemate war a decade later, tearing apart the poorest country in the Arab world.
