NBC: Trump sought to escape the costly war with Yemen
According to two US officials in detail, the attacks on Yemen have never hit Ansarullah, but have spe more than $ 1 billion in the US since March, including thousands of bombs and missiles used in the attacks, seven subcutaneous drones and four fighters.
After weeks of US military operations, the Yemeni army coinued to maiain the ability to attack beyond the coury, and this week even attacks against the main Zionist iernational airport, but a surprise agreeme that Trump announced on Tuesday may be the end of the operation.
According to the agreeme, the United States stops attacking Yemen in exchange for the Yemeni army’s attacks on US ships.
According to NBC News, it is unclear how this agreeme will last, and how long it means the conflict that began a few weeks after the October storm operation.
According to US officials, the agreeme was reached by the Oman governme and relates only to American ships. The Yemeni army is expected to coinue attacks against the Zionist regime and ships from other couries.
“The Trump administration was clearly looking for a way out of the operation against the Houthis,” said a US official familiar with military operations against Yemen.
The US Departme of Defense has not yet commeed.
US drones se to investigate the targets were often overthrown by Yemenis, and no American force was prese on Yemeni soil to evaluate the effectiveness of operations for the Peagon.
However, the operation was very expensive for the United States and analyzed the coury’s military resources.
Since March 5, the Peagon has used about 6,000 bombs and missiles worth more than $ 5 million against Yemen. It includes hundreds of £ 5,000 bombs each for $ 6,000, at least 2 Tamahak missiles for about $ 1.5 million, at least two AGM-1 cruise missiles each for around $ 1.5 million and other ammunition.
The United States has also spe at least $ 5 million on the displaceme of the Patriot missile defense systems and their support equipme through the ship. This amou does not include the equipme transmitted by air.
The US military commander in the Indyopasific area said the US military used four C-2 flights to move a Patriot system from his area to the Middle East. The flight cost of the C-1 hour is about $ 6,000, and the US military has transferred a total of four Patriot systems to the area.
However, concerns about the Trump administration’s approach to confroing Yemen cannot be sustainable and long -term.
“Washington has little patience and short -term focus; Therefore, it is unlikely that the resources and atteion needed to achieve a significa result in this campaign. “
“The Houthis (Yemeni army) will not shoot US ships for a while, but they will not stop the attack on Israel, commercial shipping will not return to normal, and no change will be made in the Yemeni civil war,” he said.
“If the Houthis fulfill their commitme and do not attack American ships, it would be enough for the Trump administration to justify its role in the struggle,” Sterlrol said.
