Iran’s UN ambassador has categorically rejected the ‘unfounded’ claims by the US and Britain about Tehran’s involvement in tensions in the Red Sea region.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree says Yemeni armed forces have successfully thwarted an American-British aggression against the country, shooting down a US F-18 fighter jet.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) says a Super Hornet fighter aircraft has been shot down in what it claimed to be a case of “friendly fire” over the Red Sea.

The US sends a new aircraft carrier strike group into the Red Sea after pulling the US Navy’s USS Abraham Lincoln out of the waters amid sustained Yemeni strikes.

Yemen’s armed forces have announced the execution of three joint military operations with the Iraqi resistance targeting Israeli positions, as part of their ongoing efforts to halt the relentless violence against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

In its latest successful operation, Yemeni naval forces chased away another US aircraft carrier from the Red Sea, forcing it to cease its attacks against the Arab country.

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman for Yemen’s armed forces, says the country’s forces have targeted a ship sailing in the Red Sea in retaliation for the Israeli regime’s aggression.
