Pentagon: The target of attacks on Yemen is not regime change in the Middle East
“To achieve our goals, we will use fatal and deadly force against the Houthis,” a spokesman for the Pentagon said at a News conference. “Shooting at US forces will have consequences.”
Shan Parrene, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), held a news conference on Monday evening, according to ISNA.
“Trump’s goal is to defend the United States, determining against China, the ability to attack US enemies around the world, and to demand more from our allies,” Parrenell said at the beginning of his news conference.
During the meeting, he said, referring to US aggressive actions against Yemen and claiming that the “operation” aims to protect US forces, he said: “We will use fatal and deadly forces against the Houthis to achieve our goals. “Shooting at US forces will have consequences.”
A Pentagon spokesman said: “The attacks on the Houthis are not an endless campaign. The purpose of these attacks is not to change the regime in the Middle East. The purpose of these attacks is to care about American interests. “
Despite the publication of numerous images of the devastation of residential areas and the testimony of civilians and children in US attacks on Yemen, Parrenel claimed: “In recent days, we have carried out precise attacks against Iranian -backed Houthis in Yemen. The purpose of these attacks is to ensure the resumption of free maritime trade. “They have attacked American ships hundreds of times.”
“If you shoot at US forces,” he said in a threatening statement. There will be consequences. “All options are on the table to deal with the Houthis and Iran.”
Parrene also claimed: “In the former US government, the enemies of the United States became more bold and billions of dollars were released for Iran. The time of peace has been returned through power. “We will use fatal force to achieve our goals.”
“Whenever Houthi forces land their weapons and no longer attack US forces, our attacks will be stopped,” said a Pentagon spokesman.
In response to a question, “Will the United States respond if Iranian ships help the Houthis?” “I certainly do not want to comment beyond the commander -in -chief of the army and the Minister of Defense because it is about issuing the attacks and who is targeted, but I think the US president has clearly said that all options are on the table,” he said.
Parrene also claimed that Qatar supports US attacks on Yemen, referring to a telephone conversation between US Defense Minister Pete Hegst and Qatarish counterpart.
Alex Grinkovic, director of the US Joint Staff against Yemen, also claimed the accurate US attacks on Yemen.
He claimed: “During the attacks, several command centers and the gathering place of Houthi UAVs were targeted. “This operation will continue until the US President’s goals are achieved.”
Responding to a question about Iran’s intelligence assistance to Yemen, Greecovic said: “We know that Iran has provided intelligence to the Houthis in recent years. But at this moment, the ship does not help. We closely monitor the situation. “
Parrene also claimed: “The previous government helped Iran become strong and could help Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. “We know who the enemies of America and the free world are and the US president has warned them.”
Responding to a question about the testimony of civilians following US attacks on Yemen, a Pentagon spokesman said: “All options are on the table. “But we will investigate before announcing any statistics.”
Greecovic also claimed: “There are no civilian casualties.”
Aid to Ukraine continues
Responding to a question about US military and intelligence aid to Ukraine, Parrenell said: “The aid to Ukraine is ongoing. “The focus of the US president is to peace and end the Ukrainian war.”
“We received reports of ballistic missiles from the Houthis to US forces,” he said in response to a question about the Houthis retaliatory attack on the US aircraft carrier. But these attacks were not successful. Our attacks will continue. “If the Houthis decide to stop their attacks, we will stop our attacks.”
Greecovic also claimed: “Houthi attacks were mistaken. “All their attacks have failed.”
In response to a question about the possibility of a ground attack on Yemen, Parrenell said, “We can’t talk about these details.”
