The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) confirmed that the transfer of military capabilities to the region affected Iran's calculations in responding to the Israeli occupation.

She explained that the current positioning of US forces allows them to defend "Israel" if necessary.

The Pentagon also noted that the Houthis have a huge arsenal, but US efforts have succeeded in significantly undermining their capabilities, according to their statement.

He continued: "The environmental disaster that will be caused by the oil spill in the Red Sea will harm the Houthis themselves."
