You US Air Blows To the oil port Ras isa, in YémenAccording to the Husites, they killed at least 74 people and were injured more than 100, supported by Iran, and this seems to be the most deadly incident since President Donald Trump began his new military campaign against the rebels last month.
Hits, who released images of the consequences, claims that the attack was aimed at civilian workers. The explosion left funds in the fire and threw the fire balls into the sky.
In a statement published on Friday, the central command of the United States defended the attack, saying that the American forces attacked to “eliminate this source of fuel to terrorists supported by Iran, and deprived them of illegal income, which funded HumHi efforts on terrorism of the entire region for more than 10 years.”
The Pentagon did not comment on civilian casualties and refused to answer media questions.
The attack on RAS ISA, located in the Imidid province, in Western Yemen, is an important climb in the campaign, which began on March 15. However, neither the number of attacks nor the total number of victims were publicly disclosed.
The port of Isa is the end point of an important pipeline from Marib, controlled by the government by the region and rich energy resources. Although oil exports were interrupted from the continuing civil war, Hethis will use the fuel importance for many years.
Mohammed al-Bash, an analyst in Yemen, said that an unprocessed attack was “the first mass incident that Hethis recognized and spread openly.” The analyst compared it with previous attacks, including those who killed up to 70 Khuti combatants, on which the group remained silent.
“This completely unjustified aggression is an egregious violation of the sovereignty and independence of Yemen, as well as the direct goal representing all the Yemeni peoples,” says Hethis in a statement published by the Saba news agency. “The goal is a vital civilian institution that served the Yemeni people for decades,” adds in a statement.
The State Department of the United States warned on April 9 that it authorized any country or company that supports Husites, namely through oil loads in the ports controlled by Husites.
Later, on Friday, the Hussites launched a rocket to Israel, which was intercepted by Israeli forces.
Statements about the participation of China
The conflict continues to attract the main world powers. The United States has accused the Chinese company Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd., to help the Hussites, providing satellite images to support their attacks on American vessels in the Red Sea.
The representative of the US State Department Tammy Bruce classified the company “directly supporting Hurti terrorist attacks, supported by Iran against the interests of the United States.” “The support of Beijing of this satellite company, even after we discussed them on this issue, certainly contradicts the statements that they support the world,” Bruce added.
Chang Guan, who was already authorized by the US Treasury in 2023, allegedly providing satellite images to the Wagner group, did not respond to new accusations.
GITI, who are ideologically aligned with a group of Hamas militants, based in gas, are repeatedly aimed at vessels in the Red Sea, who say that they are associated with Israel.
The US campaign does not show any slowdown indicators, since the Trump administration also associated air strikes on chitis with wider efforts to provide pressure on Iran on its rapidly growing nuclear program.
The second round of negotiations between Iran and the United States is scheduled for Saturday in Rome.
