US pulling out Truman carrier from West Asia after ceasefire with Yemen: Report
A US official has stated that the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman is being withdrawn from West Asia and will not be replaced by another vessel.
The official told Al-Jazeera that both the US and the Yemeni Ansarallah resistance movement continue to uphold a mutual ceasefire.
Earlier this month, the two sides agreed on an Omani-mediated ceasefire. The agreement prohibits both parties from attacking each other, including US ships, to guarantee secure maritime passage.
Before that, the US had markedly intensified its deadly attacks against Yemen as a means of trying to force Sana’a into stopping its strikes against the Israeli regime, Washington’s most cherished regional ally.
The US official also highlighted that Israel does not inform the US beforehand about all its assaults on Ansarallah-related targets.
On Friday, Israeli forces conducted new strikes against port facilities in Yemen’s Hudaydah region, as the regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “This is only the beginning” and promised intensified assaults against the group’s command structure and critical assets.
