“The Pentagon”: The goal of strikes on the Houthis is to restore freedom of navigation and establish American deterrence – the seventh day

The US Defense Ministry spokesman, Sean Barnell, said that the goal behind a series of precise strikes launched by the US Central Command against Houthi targets throughout Yemen is “restoring freedom of navigation and consolidating American deterrence.”

Barnil – during a press conference of the Operations Manager of the American Staff Alexis Greencotch – indicated that the Houthis attacked the American warships more than 170 times, and commercial ships 145 times, since 2023.

Barnell added – according to the American “Al -Hurra” channel on Monday evening – that the operation on the Houthis is not an endless attack, and not an attempt to change a system in the Middle East, but rather to put American interests in the first place, following that the operation will end “when the Houthis stop attacking our ships and endangering the lives of Americans.”

In the same context, the Director of Operations at the American Joint Chiefs of Operations said that the first wave of air strikes resulted in the destruction of more than 30 Houthi targets.

He added that dozens of Houthi soldiers have fallen as a result of these strikes so far, adding that “the strikes will continue until our goals are achieved.”
