In a recent press briefing, the Pentagon firmly denied allegations that it had targeted US warships. 

This statement comes in response to claims made by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who asserted that they had attacked the USS Harry S. Truman.

The Pentagon emphasized that the US and British warplanes had launched strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, aiming to dismantle radar systems, drone sites, and underground weapons storage facilities.

These precision attacks were intended to secure Red Sea shipping lanes and counter alleged Houthi aggression on US Navy warships 

Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby stated, "We did not provide specific targeting information for any US warships.

Our actions were solely defensive and aimed at protecting international commerce and maritime security.
