Minister of Foreign Affairs Addresses UN Secretary-General on Ongoing U.S.-U.K. Aggression in Yemen

Yemen | Bab al-Mandab | Sana'a - 27th Rajab 1445 AH The Minister of Foreign Affairs in the caretaker government, Engineer Hisham Sharaf, sent a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, regarding the ongoing U.S.-U.K. military aggression that has targeted several Yemeni governorates with more than 300 airstrikes and missile attacks since January 12, 2024. In the letter, the Foreign Minister considered the U.S.-U.K. aggression to be unlawful, a violation of international law, and contrary to the objectives of the UN Charter. He stressed that Washington and London have blatantly violated the objectives of the UN Charter, especially paragraph (4) of Article (2) which prohibits member states in their international relations from threatening or using force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the UN Charter, as the U.S.-U.K. aggression on Yemen continues without any legal or legitimate justification. The letter clarified that invoking the right to self-defense under Article (51) of the UN Charter constitutes another form of U.S.-U.K. disregard for the Charter, as there is no Yemeni threat to America or Britain. It also indicated that Washington and London are waging military aggression against Yemen within the framework of the unlimited support that the two countries provide to Israel, which commits war crimes and genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Foreign Minister in the caretaker government emphasized that the U.S.-U.K. aggression on the Republic of Yemen is intended to cover up the crimes and violations of international law, international humanitarian law, and relevant international conventions related to human rights, and to prevent war crimes and genocide practiced by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people for 76 years. "This aggression also aims to punish the Republic of Yemen, its leadership, and its people for their position of rejecting Israeli aggression. Sana'a has assumed its humanitarian and moral responsibilities by providing necessary support, within its capabilities, to impose a naval blockade on the Zionist enemy and prevent ships owned by it or bound for the occupied Palestinian ports, after the Security Council failed to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security and preserving the lives of civilians, amid the current status of the Security Council system and membership, which poses a threat to the collapse of the entire United Nations system," he added. The letter stressed the clear and steadfast position of the Sana'a government in preserving international peace and security, as well as the safety of maritime navigation and international trade in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait. However, with the escalation of violence and war crimes and genocide practiced by the Israeli enemy against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, the Sana'a government sensed the humanitarian and moral responsibility and responded to the demands of the Yemeni people and the directives of the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council. It made a humanitarian decision to provide all forms of support to the people in the Gaza Strip. It stated that international and regional shipping companies have been notified that the Yemeni naval forces have imposed a naval blockade on all ships owned by or heading to the Israeli enemy, and that they will not allow Israeli or Israeli-bound ships to pass, while other ships have full freedom of passage through the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait. Minister Sharaf added in the letter, "The military targeting is limited and restricted only to ships owned by or heading to the Israeli enemy until the military aggression ends and humanitarian, food, pharmaceutical, and fuel aid enters the Gaza Strip without any obstacles." He pointed out that this humanitarian and ethical stance did not align with the interests of the countries supporting the Israeli enemy politically, militarily, financially, and

USS Gravely’s Missile Defense System Fails Against Yemeni Missiles In a recent development, American officials and experts have acknowledged the failure of the missile defense layers of the destroyer “USS Gravely” in intercepting Yemeni missiles that targeted it last week. This incident has exposed the inaccuracies in military estimates and calculations related to Yemeni capabilities. According to the American network “CNN”, officials confirmed that the missile defense system of the destroyer “USS Gravely” failed to intercept a Yemeni missile. This forced the destroyer to resort to its “last layer of defense”, a machine gun designed to counter threats very close to the destroyer. The armed forces confirmed that the attack achieved a precise and direct hit. The commander of the United States Fifth Fleet, Brad Cooper, admitted a day before the attack in statements to “CBS” that American forces only have 9 to 15 seconds to deal with Yemeni missiles and drones. He confirmed that “this
