TEHRAN/SANAA (Dispatches) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tuesday the precision of Yemeni missiles has significantly disrupted the strategic calculations of the Israeli-U.S. alliance. 
Speaking to reporters in Tehran, Araghchi praised Yemen’s pro-Palestine operations, including recent hypersonic missile strikes deep inside the occupied territories.
“The people of Yemen, relying on their indigenous missiles and defensive equipment, have played an unprecedented role in defending the Palestinian people since the onset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” Araghchi said.
“Even under the heaviest bombardments from the American-Israeli coalition, they target the heart of the occupied territories with their homemade missiles.” 
Araghchi reaffirmed Tehran’s unwavering support for all members of the resistance front, but singled out Yemen’s resistance for its self-reliance. 
“The Yemenis have proven they need no external assistance. Despite dire economic and military conditions, they have stood firm and resisted,” he said. 
Israel has intensified attacks on Yemen’s civilian infrastructure, targeting power stations, ports, and other critical facilities. On Monday, foreign minister Israel Katz vowed to escalate these attacks and issued threats against Yemeni leaders. 
Israel will “damage their strategic infrastructure, and we will behead their leaders – just as we did to [Hamas leader Ismail] Haniyeh, [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar, and [Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah in Tehran, Gaza, and Lebanon – we will do it in Hodeidah and Sana’a,” Katz said. 
Yemen’s armed forces said Tuesday they successfully carried out an operation against an Israeli military target within the occupied territories.
A statement issued by the Yemeni military said its forces struck an Israeli military site in the occupied area of Yaffa, using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic 
missile, adding that the operation successfully achieved its goal.
The statement said Yemeni armed forces are fully ready to confront the Israeli-American-British aggression amid the Zionist regime’s threats of large scale aggression. 
Yemeni forces, the statement said, will continue their military operations in support of Palestinians in Gaza until the Israeli aggression ends and the siege on the blockaded territory is lifted.
Yemeni forces have markedly intensified their pro-Palestinian strikes against the occupied territories and other Israeli targets in recent weeks.
On Monday, the country’s drone unit carried out an operation against an Israeli military target in Ashkelon, located 50 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, using a homegrown and long-range Yaffa kamikaze drone.
On Saturday, at least 20 Israeli settlers were injured after a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile launched from Yemen struck Tel Aviv’s southern suburbs.
Yemeni forces have also been targeting Israeli, U.S. and UK vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Notably, the USS Harry Truman was attacked this week with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones, resulting in the downing of an American F-18 Hornet warplane. 
The Yemeni strikes have also forced ships to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, extending the journey by up to three weeks.
Major companies such as Denmark’s Maersk, Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd, France’s CMA CGM, and Italy-Switzerland’s MSC have suspended their voyages through the Red Sea, effectively shutting down the port of Eilat at the southern tip of the Israeli occupied territories.
