The USS Harry S. Truman has been operating in the Red Sea since last September when it was deployed to help protect commercial ships against near-constant attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

In other words, this incident would never have happened in the first place if the US weren't supporting Israel's genocide of the Palestinians (because that's why the Houthis are attacking commercial shipping).
