Houthi leader says aircraft and weapons used in Yemen strikes are US equipment

The claim is significant less as a military disclosure than as a framing move: attributing the strikes' hardware to the United States shifts responsibility from the operating force to the supplier, a familiar rhetorical line in the region. It matters most for Washington's political exposure, since the assertion is being amplified through Iranian state media rather than a Houthi channel directly. No evidence or detail accompanies it. Whether the attribution gains traction beyond the statement itself is the open question.
