OFFICIAL VOICE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CUBA CENTRAL COMMITTEE

The United States has set out to "soften", together with Israel, the terrain of the Middle East in order to continue adding headless countries with no pockets of resistance, so that they can put an end to the progressive governments there.

The rope was "broken" at the narrowest part, although the most heroic: occupied Palestine, where genocide is imposed and the number of dead, wounded and destruction of civil infrastructure is growing. Parallel to the massacre in Gaza, Israel and its protector - Joe Biden's government - have launched an attack on Lebanon, with savage bombardments of its capital, Beirut, and other populated areas.

Syria, which had always shown solidarity with the Palestinian cause, was "taken out" of this context, continues to cede territory to the Israeli occupier, and has not been able to prevent U.S. troops and military means from dominating part of the country and stealing its energy and grain resources.

Fishing in troubled waters. Syria, a nation that has suffered more than 13 years of war, foreign occupation, and local and religious conflicts, is a prize for an Israel that is now cutting off its territory and colonizing it, as it did with the Palestinian land.

The center of this command and war power is in the United States and its huge, modern and super-armed aircraft carriers, from which the most advanced warplanes are launched, loaded with missiles and bombs of all kinds, which are launched against the Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian and now Yemeni populations.

The people of Yemen - considered one of the poorest countries in the Middle East - and their resistance movement, made up of Houthi fighters, have been attacked by U.S. military forces, and in recent days "massive bombings" have been reported on the capital Sanaa and the surrounding areas of Attan and Nuqum of Sanaa.

A Sputnik report reported that the Yemeni Armed Forces provided details of an operation that resulted in the downing of a U.S. f-18 fighter jet in the Red Sea.

Yemeni army spokesman Lt. Gen. Yahya Sari added that a qualitative operation was carried out with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones, targeting the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and U.S.-British destroyers, along with the start of the aggressive attack on their territory.

However, U.S. Central Command (Centcom) had announced that the missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, part of the Harry S. Truman carrier strike group, had shot down an F/A-18 fighter from the same group in the Red Sea in a friendly fire incident.

The bombing of Yemen had initially been attributed to Israel, whose government denied responsibility, according to The Times, which attributed the attacks to U.S. aircraft.

The Houthis of Yemen are part of Shiism, and since the last Israeli onslaught against the Palestinians in Gaza, they have warned that they will not allow the transfer of ships to Tel Aviv until the massacre of the Palestinian population is stopped.
