In Nuseirat “revenge”, the Houthis attack not Israel but the warship of their ally Britain, days after the “hit” of a US aircraft carrier

The Houthis intensified their attacks on the US-British naval coalition. A few days after the “attack” on the US aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked the British Navy destroyer HMS Diamond on June 9. In a statement, the Houthis said “the hit was accurate.” However, the British Ministry of Defense dismissed the Houthis’ claim as “false.” Meanwhile, the Iran-backed militia group also claimed responsibility for missile attacks on two merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea on June 8.
