A video posted by the commander of the American aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” has caused a major scandal, revealed by activists on social media, after he posted an old video to prove the carrier was not hit by strikes that the Sanaa government forces claimed to have launched in the past two days.
The commander of the American aircraft carrier posted a video to prove it was not hit, but activists revealed that the video had been previously published last March, while the attacks that the Sanaa government forces claimed to have carried out on the “Eisenhower” were first on May 31 and the second on June 1.

Observers considered that the commander’s resorting to posting an old video increases the likelihood that the carrier was indeed hit.
The Sanaa government forces announced late last Saturday evening, through a statement by their spokesperson Yahya Saree, that they had carried out a second attack within 24 hours on the American aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” in the Red Sea.
Since November last year, the Sanaa government forces have begun targeting Israeli ships and related vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas before announcing the extension of their operations to part of the Indian Ocean. Recently, they announced the beginning of the fourth phase of escalation against ships “even in the Mediterranean Sea” to support Palestinians in Gaza. They state that their operations against “Israel” will continue until the latter stops the genocide in Gaza and lifts the blockade.
In response, the United States and Britain launched airstrikes on Yemen. In turn, the Sanaa government forces announced that their operations would include targeting American and British commercial and military ships in response to what they called the “American-British aggression.”
On February 19, 2024, the European Union announced the launch of a military operation named “Aspides,” led by Italy in the Red Sea, while the United States announced an operation named “Guardian of Prosperity,” both aiming to counter the attacks launched by the Sanaa government forces against “Israel.”
