Yemen's Houthi group claims that it has launched a missile in the Gulf of Aden, hitting a cargo ship called "Sea Jazz", and it has also launched a counterattack with the United States and Britain as "aggression" against Yemen. However, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom do not recognize this claim, saying that the Houthis are spreading misinformation in order to cover up the damage they have suffered in their air strikes. This accident once again reveals the contradictions and confrontations between Househ*** and the West in the Red Sea.
On January 22, a Houthi military spokesman, Salia, said in a statement that the Houthis had used a rocket to attack the Sea Jazz, but he did not give the exact time and location of the launch, as well as whether there was any damage to life or property. Salia also said that the Houthis would retaliate against "any aggression" against Yemen by the United States or the United Kingdom, in contrast to the protective alliances of the United States and other countries, and would target all potential dangers in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea.
The Houthis claimed that they had demonstrated their control over the Red Sea region by attacking the Sea Jazz and forced it to change its course. However, countries like the United States and the United Kingdom do not recognize this claim, saying that the Houthis are spreading misinformation in order to cover up the damage they have suffered in their air strikes.
A statement issued by the U.S. Center Command that the Iranian-funded Houthis claimed a clear victory in the attack on the "Sea Jazz" is clearly problematic. During the safety of this voyage, the Navy was in constant contact with the ship "Sea Jazz". The report also pointed out that the ship did not transmit a distress signal, did not change its route, and had no record of using missile interceptors in the escort alliance. The resolution also calls on the Houthis to end their endangerment of the Red Sea region and to abide by international legal and human rights norms.
The United States, Britain and other countries have denied this, because their voyage records show that the "Sea Jazz" sailed in the Gulf of Aden during the Houthi attack, and nothing strange happened. The site also posted a ** of the "Sea Jazz", confirming that the ship was not damaged.
So, why are the Houthis lying? Analysts believe that this may be an attempt by the Houthis to regain face and regain their confidence in the face of Western military strikes. After the Houthis claimed an attack on the "Jazz of the Seas", the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries launched an eighth round of air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen against their secret bases, which involved the destruction of missiles and other military installations.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the strike is aimed at striking at the Houthi security of international and innocent crew members and curbing Iranian military assistance to the Houthis. The U.S. Department of Defense, together with the United Kingdom, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands, issued a joint declaration on the objectives and effectiveness of the attack, noting that the Houthis will continue to take measures.
This also means that the Houthis have not played much role in the face of military strikes in the Western world, and their ** reserves are constantly being depleted, which is why there have been no pirate attacks during this time. To preserve his dignity, he had to show that he could still interfere in the Red Sea, and he began to lie.
It can be expected that after the destruction of the Houthi forces, the situation in the Red Sea region will be eased, but to solve this threat, it is necessary to deal with the Houthis and the forces behind them.
