Have the Houthis really just sunk a US warship?

Conflicting reports from US and Houthi sources n light of two attacks on the USS Eisenhower have prompted much speculation! Right, so following the first attack in three months on Yemen and the Houthis still blockading shipping in the Red Sea and now with the capabilities to reach the Arabian and Mediterranean seas as well, which I covered the other day, at the time I was writing that video, it came out that the Houthis had retaliated by allegedly targeting for the first time a US warship, upping their game still further, a strike on the aircraft carrier the USS Dwight D Eisenhower, which subsequent to that attack, was then attacked for a second time, and this has resulting in all manner of claims being made as to the condition of that ship now, ranging anywhere from having been sunk by the Houthis, to not having been damaged at all and it’s all Houthis stuff and nonsense. The truth however might well be somewhere in between the two. Right, so this story may be straying into the realms of conspiracy theory on social media, but it isn’t dying down any so I figured it’s worth looking into to see what the heck is going on, have the Houthis really upped the ante now by making not one but two strikes on a US warship and have they cause significant damage, some saying it was sinking or had sunk, but this would be one heck of an upgrade from the sinking of the Rubymar a bulk carrier, and besides which the Houthis up until now – if true, which I doubt - have not sought to sink ships overtly anyway, not sought to kill, they’ve rescued people from ships they’ve crippled, and have only done that to interfere with shipping headed to or from Israel, or domestic shipping belonging to the UK or US due to their pro Israel stances. So let’s start with what the Houthis themselves have said about this, because they do love a televised briefing: ‘In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the crimes of the zionist enemy against the displaced people in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip, and as part of expanding military operations in the fourth phase of escalation, and in response to the American and British aggression against our country, The Yemeni Armed Forces, by the grace of Allah, carried out six military operations as follows: The first operation targeted the American aircraft carrier “Eisenhower“ north of the Red Sea with several missiles and drones. This is the second attack on the carrier within 24 hours. The second operation targeted an American destroyer in the Red Sea, hitting it directly with several drones. The other four operations targeted ships belonging to companies that violated the decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine, including the ship (MAINA), which was targeted in two operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea. The third operation targeted the ship (ALORAIQ) in the Indian Ocean. The fourth operation targeted the ship (ABLIANI) in the Red Sea. The operations successfully achieved their objectives, with precise and direct hits, by the grace of Allah. The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to carry out their military operations in support of and in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people and in resistance to the American and British aggression against our country, which supports the “israeli“ zionist enemy in continuing its crimes and aggression against the Palestinian people. The support operations will not cease until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.’ ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
