W0W, Iran sending missiles ships to Red Sea
“A reporter with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) clarifies:
– There are currently no Iranian Navy ships present in the Red Sea. The 4 missile ships have not yet reached, but are on their way.
– News of the interception of a U.S. drone currently has no factual basis, and seems to be media hype. The Iranian channel which originally reported it, retracted the report.”

Yemen's Ansarallah:
'We will expand the scope of targets for our missiles in Israel in the coming hours and days, until the aggression on Gaza stops.
We will continue to impose our naval blockade on all Israeli-linked shipping in the operational zone, and will continue our attacks on American warships, until the aggression on Gaza stops, the blockade is lifted, and humanitarian aid is allowed to enter.
Yemen's leadership, people, and armed forces will not sit idly, while it watches these countless massacres by the Israeli enemy”

False, misleading’
The Houthis, who control much of Yemen, have yet to attack any ships despite threatening to do so last week over Israel’s blockade on all food, fuel and other supplies into the Gaza Strip.In a statement, a Houthi spokesman accused the US of overstating the threat to shipping operations to influence public opinion.
“What the US president claims about a threat to international navigation in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait is false and misleading to international public opinion,” Mohammed Abdul-Salam said.
“The maritime embargo declared by Yemen in support of Gaza is limited only to Israeli navigation until humanitarian aid is delivered to the people of Gaza, according to the ceasefire agreement between the Palestinian resistance and the enemy entity,” he added.
The political bureau of the Houthis issued a separate statement, describing the attacks as a “war crime” and promised to respond.
“The aggression will not go unanswered,” it said. “Our Yemeni armed forces are fully prepared to respond to escalation with escalation.”
In Sanaa, residents said at least four air raids rocked the eastern Geraf neighbourhood in the Shuayb district, terrifying women and children in the area.
“The explosions were very strong,” said Abdallah al-Alffi. “It was like an earthquake.”
The Houthis have launched more than 100 attacks targeting shipping since November 2023, following Israel’s war on Gaza, disrupting global commerce and setting the US military on a costly campaign to intercept missiles and drones that burned through stocks of US air defences.
The Houthis say the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians over Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
Iran’s other allies, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, have been severely weakened by Israel since the start of the Gaza conflict. Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, who was closely aligned with Tehran, was overthrown by rebels in December.
But throughout, Yemen’s Houthis have remained resilient and often on the offensive, sinking two vessels, seizing another and killing at least four seafarers in an offensive that disrupted global shipping, forcing companies to reroute to longer and more expensive journeys around Southern Africa.
The Houthis halted the drone and missile attacks when the Gaza ceasefire was declared in January.
Damn another one

UK tanker refueled US warplanes during escalation against Yemen: Report
Thursday, 20 March 2025 12:03 AM [ Last Update: Thursday, 20 March 2025 3:35 AM ]
An investigative report has revealed that one of Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) Voyager aerial refueling tankers provided mid-air refueling support to US warplanes partaking in Washington’s recent deadly escalation against Yemen that claimed the lives of 53 civilians.
Declassified UK, an investigative journalism and media organization, revealed the information on Tuesday in reference to the deadly American airstrikes that targeted Yemen’s entire expanse throughout Saturday and Sunday on the orders of US President Donald Trump.
The British tanker plane executed two sorties from the Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus into the northern Red Sea, supporting the USS Harry S. Truman American aircraft carrier during the escalation that marked the biggest of its kind since Trump took office in January, the report noted.
Flight tracking data has indicated that on March 15, the RAF Voyager departed Akrotiri at 17:49 UTC, reaching the vicinity of the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah near the American warships that are deployed off Yemen’s coastline, it said.
According to the report, the tanker, capable of carrying over 100 tons of fuel, remained in the area for more than two hours, aligning with the timing of the initial airstrikes against Yemen, which commenced around 17:15 UTC and continued for over five hours.
A military source also confirmed to the British media organization that the UK had provided routine allied air-to-air refueling support to aid the US aircraft carrier’s confronting Yemen’s retaliatory strikes that came in response to the massacres.
Reports from Yemen's health ministry indicate that the initial night of the airstrikes resulted in at least 27 civilian deaths and 22 injuries across seven provinces.
Trump orders airstrikes on Sana'a to shield Israel from Yemen’s fury
American and British warplanes kill and injure 22 civilians in Yemen after it resumed a ban on Israeli ships from crossing key maritime regions.
Footage emerging from the bloodletting has depicted distressed and severely burned children in the aftermath of the American attacks.
The RAF Voyager repeated its mission on March 16, coinciding with a second night of US airstrikes targeting the Galaxy Leader merchant vessel in the al-Hudaydah port city in western Yemen and the al-Jawf Province in the country’s northwest.
Observers say the intensified American aggression, which has continued to date, is aimed at stopping Yemen from keeping up its anti-Israeli strikes, although, Trump withheld any mention of the Israeli regime in his announcement of the executive order that mandated the airstrikes.
Yemen being bombed by US, UK for fulfilling ICJ, UNGA ‘obligations’: Legal expert
A prominent lawyer and former UN official says Yemen is being bombed by the US and the UK for fulfilling obligations set by ICJ and UN General Assembly.
Besides refueling the US’s warplanes, the UK itself dispatched warplanes of its own to join the American aircraft during the intensified raids.
That Twitter/X account is a pro-Zionist one, it's some twisted shat on there. They lie all of the time.
SO why are we attacking YEmen again??
"Iranian-backed" is a lie. Israel is not to be trusted; their own country is built on a lie.
Yep, that OSINTdefender / @sentdefender account is Pro-Israel AF. Definitely not a neutral source concerning ground news of the conflict.
I've seen a couple people other than Mask post from their twitter/x and their game was the same all of the time "we're Black so you shouldn't care about the Palestinians. They're racist. Hey, what about Sudan?" It was almost like they were reading from some script.
US announcement of deploying 2nd aircraft carrier off Yemen ‘admission of disastrous failure’: Al-Houthi
Saturday, 22 March 2025 10:31 PM [ Last Update: Saturday, 22 March 2025 10:31 PM ]
The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah popular resistance movement has characterized the US’s decision to deploy a second aircraft carrier to the waters off his country as acknowledgment of Washington’s abject failure in the face of Sana’a’s determined pro-Palestinian and defensive efforts.
Speaking on Saturday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi asserted that the move had come in the context of America's successive defeats in its campaign against Yemen.
He highlighted Yemen's recent targeting of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, noting that such actions had transformed the vessel from a symbol of American military might into a liability.
The Yemeni leader said the repeated attacks had neutralized the carrier's effectiveness, compelling the United States to deploy an additional carrier, a move that he billed as a clear admission of failure.
Al-Houthi further noted that while the US typically used its aircraft carriers to project power and intimidate other nations, when it came to confrontation with Yemen, these assets had rather become “a burden and a danger” for Washington.
In a recent escalation, the United States announced pending deployment of a second aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, to the West Asia region. Washington also announced extension of deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman carrier strike group, currently operating in the Red Sea, by at least a month.
Observers say the move signifies intensification of the US’s military campaign against Yemen in response to Sana’a’s resuming its pro-Palestinian strikes.
US President Donald Trump has vowed to "completely annihilate" Ansarullah, upon whose leader’s orders Yemen has resumed the strikes following the Israeli regime’s re-launcing of its war of genocide against the Gaza Strip.
