The Houthi leader in Yemen, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has vowed to continue operations in support of the Palestinian people, despite intense U.S. aggression against Yemen. He reported that since mid-March, the U.S. has conducted 1,712 strikes on Yemen, while the Houthis have launched 131 operations using 253 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones, downing seven U.S. drones and two F-18 jets.

Al-Houthi asserted that the U.S. and Israel have been unsuccessful in countering Yemen's military capabilities, with the U.S. failing to halt their operations or destroy their capacities. He noted that the enemy has shifted its focus to targeting civilian infrastructure, attempting to influence the will and resilience of the Yemeni people.

In a related development, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, has urged global action against Israel and its supporters, particularly the United States and Britain, for their role in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. He emphasized that the crimes committed by Israel in Gaza cannot be overlooked and called for the world to stand against them, highlighting the targeting of Ben Gurion Airport and Negev Air Force Base by Yemen.

The cost of these counterattacks on the U.S. has exceeded 3 billion dollars. A ceasefire was announced on May 6, mediated by Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, halting attacks in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the Houthis had informed them of their desire to cease fighting, leading to the withdrawal of the Truman and Carl Vinson aircraft carriers from the region.
