Trump's War on the #Houthis.
Yemeni forces confirmed yesterday's missile and drone attack on the USS Harry S. Truman, forcing it to retreat to the northernmost part of the #RedSea
The same attack likely caused the loss of a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet, which occurred after the carrier made a "sharp turn" to "avoid fire." A tugboat was also lost, and a sailor was injured.
They also announced an attack on Ashkelon using drones.
US airpower, including 22 MQ-9 Reapers and two F/A-18 Super Hornets, has cost at least $860 million since the start of the US aggression against #Yemen.
CNN reports that the US cannot move to a "second phase" of anti-Houthi operations due to the Yemenis' unexpectedly good air defenses.

🇮🇷🇵🇸Middle East in Crisis – 2 | Adevs/IndianPunchline
Last week, the #resistance forces that were supposedly vanquished from the face of the earth regrouped and began firing missiles at Israel — from Syria, of all places! On May 4, #Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv hitting the perimeter of the main terminal of #BenGurionAirport! Reports suggest that Hezbollah has restored its supply routes from Iran.
What Israel fails to grasp is that resistance movements do not die their raison d’être remains. Israel is, in reality, in very deep crisis fighting on multiple fronts amidst a cascading domestic political crisis and an economy that requires drip feeding by Washington.
As the US’s capacity to influence events in the Middle East keeps diminishing, Israel’s unviability as a nation propped by the #JewishLobby in the Beltway appears sharper in focus. Already, there is resentment within the #US about bankrolling Israel and fighting its wars.
