$1.5Bn Spent, 30 Warships deployed | Has the U.S. Achieved anything in its Fight against Houthis?

The U.S. military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen is proving costly and largely ineffective. With over $1.5 billion spent on munitions, 30 warships deployed—including the USS Eisenhower—and advanced assets like F-35C jets, Washington faces limited success. Houthi forces, backed by Iran, have launched over 325 attacks and disrupted $1 trillion in trade via asymmetric warfare. As the Red Sea crisis deepens, analysts warn this prolonged conflict may become America’s next Vietnam.

Hegseth Says Houthi Red Sea Defeat As 'Tailored Operation' | Critics Slam Hegseth As ‘Attempt To...’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has described America’s widely perceived failure against Yemen’s Houthis as a “tailored operation,” claiming the goal was freedom of navigation and not the protection of Israeli-linked vessels. Notably, Hegseth made no mention of Israel during his statement. Critics argue the Pentagon has rebranded a humiliating military result, after months of failed deterrence against Houthi strikes in the Red Sea. The Pentagon's shifting rhetoric has sparked fresh debate over U.S. credibility, especially in light of its deep alliance with Israel. #Hegseth #HouthiAttacks #RedSeaConflict #PentagonNews #USNavy #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelAlly #TailoredOperation #MilitaryFailure #HegsethStatement #FreedomOfNavigation #RedSeaWar #HouthisVsUS #USMilitary #IsraelNotMentioned #GazaWarImpact #USDefeat #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #YemenConflict ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

Houthis RAIN HELLFIRE on Israel | Launch BALLISTIC Missile after ‘HOT SUMMER’ Warning [Video]

Houthis RAIN HELLFIRE on Israel | Launch BALLISTIC Missile after ‘HOT SUMMER’ Warning

The Houthis launched a major ballistic missile strike on Israel Thursday, triggering air raid sirens nationwide. Israeli forces intercepted the warhead, neutralizing the threat. The attack followed Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a International Airport and a stern “Hot Summer” warning from Houthi leader Al-Mashat, who threatened intensified missile barrages and warned airlines flying to Ben Gurion Airport. Houthis claimed 22 operations against Israel in May alone, reaffirming support for Gaza and vowing to escalate attacks amid ongoing Red Sea tensions. #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiMissiles #YemenConflict #GazaWar #BallisticMissile #RedSeaTensions #HotSummerWarning #SanaaAirportStrike #MiddleEastConflict #Houthis #IDF #BenGurionThreat #AirRaidSirens #InterceptedMissile #IsraelDefense #GazaSupport #RegionalEscalation #AlMashat #MissileStrike #AerialThreat #GulfOfAden #ArabianSea #ShippingAttacks #MiddleEastWar #IranProxy #YemenIsraelTensions #HouthisVsIsrael #TerrorThreat #MayAttacks #AirSecurityAlert #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Houthi Strikes Push USS Truman Out Of Red Sea | US Carriers Flees Through Suez In Dramatic Escape [Video]

Houthi Strikes Push USS Truman Out Of Red Sea | US Carriers Flees Through Suez In Dramatic Escape

After months of high-stakes operations in the Red Sea, the USS Harry S. Truman has been forced to exit the region following a wave of Houthi missile and drone attacks, shocking aircraft losses, and a near-catastrophic collision near Egypt. The nuclear-powered supercarrier was seen transiting the Suez Canal under tight security, marking what many observers are calling a dramatic withdrawal under pressure. The exit follows a deployment marred by the loss of three F/A-18 Super Hornets—one to friendly fire—and the removal of the ship’s commanding officer. The retreat raises serious questions about U.S. naval readiness and the growing reach of Iran-backed Houthi forces. #USSHarrySTruman #USSHarryTruman #TrumanCarrier #HarrySTruman #USNavy #CVN75 #TrumanStrikeGroup #CarrierStrikeGroup #NavyNews #TrumanDeployment #CarrierCollision #NavyCarrier #TrumanReturns #RedSeaOps #TrumanSuezTransit #TrumanCrash #USNavyNews #TrumanCVN75 #TrumanCollision #NavyAlert #TrumanCommandChange ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.194~

Trump’s Shameful Defeat Against Houthis? U.S. Pulls USS Harry Truman After Ceasefire With Houthis

Trump’s Big Defeat Against Houthis? The U.S. has withdrawn its aircraft carrier, the USS Harry S. Truman, from the Red Sea without replacement — signaling what many see as a strategic retreat under pressure from Yemen’s Houthi forces. The move follows a ceasefire brokered by Oman, aiming to halt maritime attacks. But while the U.S. and Houthis have paused direct hostilities, Houthi operations against Israel continue. #TrumpVsHouthis #USSRetreat #USSHarryTruman #HouthiVictory #RedSeaTensions #MiddleEastConflict #TrumpMiddleEastPolicy #YemenCeasefire #HouthiPower #TrumpDefeat #USNavyWithdrawal #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiResistance #TrumpWarFailure #GeopoliticalShift ~HT.410~PR.152~GR.124~ED.420~
