NBC: Trump sought to escape the costly war with Yemen

After weeks of US military operations, the Yemeni army continued to maintain the ability to attack beyond the country, and this week even attacks against the main Zionist international airport, but a surprise agreement that Trump announced on Tuesday may be the end of the operation.

According to the agreement, 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 agreement will last, and how long it means the conflict that began a few weeks after the October storm operation.

According to US officials, the agreement was reached by the Oman government and relates only to American ships. The Yemeni army is expected to continue attacks against the Zionist regime and ships from other countries.

“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 Department of Defense has not yet commented.

US drones sent to investigate the targets were often overthrown by Yemenis, and no American force was present on Yemeni soil to evaluate the effectiveness of operations for the Pentagon.

However, the operation was very expensive for the United States and analyzed the country’s military resources.

Since March 5, the Pentagon 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 spent at least $ 5 million on the displacement of the Patriot missile defense systems and their support equipment through the ship. This amount does not include the equipment 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 confronting Yemen cannot be sustainable and long -term.

“Washington has little patience and short -term focus; Therefore, it is unlikely that the resources and attention needed to achieve a significant 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 commitment and do not attack American ships, it would be enough for the Trump administration to justify its role in the struggle,” Sterlrol said.
