Watan-The Telegraph revealed a shocking surprise by disclosing that the United States expressed its disappointment over leaked information in Britain regarding the strikes on Yemen.

The newspaper stated that military cooperation between Washington and London has been a cornerstone in the special relationship between the two countries for a long time. However, on Thursday evening, on the eve of the operation, a meeting of the British Cabinet was held to discuss the military operation.

A reliable source confirmed that the U.S. military expressed disappointment with the actions of the British, as such operations are usually not reported until the military returns to their bases.

The newspaper pointed out that over the past 20 years, it has become customary in Britain to grant Parliament the right to vote on military issues, a protocol that was bypassed in the Yemen operation.

American-British attack on Houthi sites

An American-British attack on Houthi sites began on Friday morning, targeting several Yemeni cities and sites affiliated with the Houthi rebels.

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated that the strikes against the Houthis targeted radar systems and infrastructure for drones and missiles. He added that the operation aims to disable and weaken the Houthis’ ability to endanger sailors and threaten international trade.

In response, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced that the strikes against the Houthis in Yemen were limited, necessary, and proportionate.

American-British attack on Houthi sites

The Houthi group considers American and British interests as legitimate targets. After the U.S. and Britain conducted strikes on Friday on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, the Houthi rebels confirmed that all American and British interests are now legitimate targets for them. The Houthis denied any injuries or material damage resulting from the U.S. strikes on Friday, but they affirmed that there would be a resolute, strong, and effective response, and they would not escape punishment.

In the aftermath, a statement from the Houthi group reported that five Houthi fighters were killed in the first wave of strikes, and six others were injured. Following this, the Houthis confirmed their readiness to target “hostile sources on land and sea.”
