Through B2 bombers... What are the heavy American messages to Iran and the Houthis in Yemen?

The United States of America announced, at dawn on Thursday, that it launched strikes using B-2 bombers, or what is known as the Ghost, for the first time to target underground weapons depots for the Houthis in Yemen.

The B-2 bomber is one of the most expensive warplanes in the world, costing around $1 billion each. No country other than the United States possesses it.

In this regard, special sources told "Yemeni Youth" that America wanted, through these planes, to send messages to the Houthis and Iran that it is capable of harming them, in an attempt to neutralize them from the strikes they are carrying out in the Red Sea.

The sources indicated that these American warnings were preceded by warnings through intermediaries, who did not pay attention to them, and announced on Friday a new operation against a ship in the Arabian Sea with a number of drones.

The sources noted that Iran alone can convince the Houthis to stop their operations in the Red Sea or not, not to mention the American desire for the Houthis to remain a problem in Yemen, and it only wants to neutralize them from what they are doing at sea.

She stressed that Al Houthi cannot respond to the American desire, which may contradict the Iranian desire, and therefore he seeks to prove that he exists first to fulfill the desire of his supporters to continue supporting Palestine, and secondly, not to send a message that the American warnings forced him to stop, and therefore he seeks to maintain his operations, albeit in a spaced out and ineffective manner as they were in the past.

It is noteworthy that this aircraft was first announced in the late 1980s, where its various capabilities were tested and the required modifications were made to it, and the first aircraft was officially delivered to the US Air Force in 1993.

In the 1990s, it participated in striking targets in Serbia, and was able to fly from Whiteman Air Force Base to Afghanistan in the longest mission ever conducted by a "stealth" aircraft. There are about 21 "B-2" stealth aircraft operating in the US Air Force.

During the years 2003 to 2009, this aircraft played a major role in the Iraq War, where it directed numerous strikes in which it launched more than 1.5 million pounds of bombs and missiles.
