Houthi: No extent of US aggression will change Yemen's stance

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has reiterated that the Arab nation will maintain its unwavering stance in support of Palestinians and their legitimate cause irrespective of the intensity of the US military aggression.

Since the onset of Israel's military campaign against Gaza over a year ago, which has resulted in over 50,200 deaths, Yemen has carried out hundreds of operations against Israeli targets.

“It is impossible for the Yemeni nation to alter their stance in the face of the American aggression no matter how extensive it could be,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech on Thursday evening on the eve of the International Quds Day.

He stated that there is no justification for US strikes against Yemen. Houthi said the US launched the onslaught against our country at the same time as the Gaza genocidal war to support the Zionist regime began.

Yemen’s position vis-à-vis the Israeli enemy has always been clear, the Ansarullah chief said, adding Yemeni forces are confronting the US aggression.

Houthi noted that there is no rationale behind the US anti-Yemen attacks as they are being carried out in violation of the US constitution.

“They are simply being launched only within the framework of support for the Zionist entity and undermining Yemeni people’s pro-Palestinian position.”

The Ansarullah leader then called upon all walks of the Yemeni society to participate in Quds Day rallies en masse.

“The Quds Day reminds Muslims of their duty and responsibility towards the sanctities of the Palestinian people and their oppression.

“This year's Quds Day has coincided with unprecedented developments in various domains, particularly the ongoing massacre of the Palestinians in Gaza, hunger, and unmatched attacks on them,” Houthi said.

Yemeni forces confront US warships for ‘several hours,’ strike Israeli military targets near Tel Aviv

Yemeni forces engage US warships in the Red Sea for several hours and strike Israeli military positions in response to continued American and Israeli aggression.

He stated that a joint and conspicuous political and media campaign is underway by the United States and the Zionist regime to obliterate the Palestinian issue, and materialize Israel’s expansionist ambitions.

“The US administration is speaking of displacement of Palestinian people, and now there is no longer any talk about peace and reconciliation. The Zionist regime's attempts to Judaize the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and forcibly expel Palestinians from the West Bank continue unabated.”

Houthi said the steadfastness of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, despite the extremely difficult situation and immense oppression they are enduring, marks a distinctive development in the history of Palestinians.

Among other remarkable developments was the support of other fronts, including Lebanon for the Palestinian people, he said, adding Hezbollah played an important role in helping Palestinians and supporting Palestinian fighters and made great sacrifices in this regard.

“Yemen also provided extensive assistance to Palestinians in various fields, and played a role in military operations targeting the depths of the occupied territories with missiles and drones. It prevented the movement of ships affiliated with the Zionist regime,” Houthi said.

Iraqi resistance groups also played a significant and major role in helping Palestinian people, Houthi said but he reserved his highest praise for Iran.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran plays a fundamental and pivotal role in supporting the Palestinian nation and resistance front. It has assisted the Palestinian nation through its military advisors as well as Operation True Promise I and II.

“The enemy well knows the extent of the role played by Iran and its importance. That is why it is trying to put pressure on the Islamic Republic through the so-called campaign of maximum pressure,” Houthi stated.

US carries out more aggression against Yemen

The United States presses ahead with its aggression against Yemen, launching new airstrikes on various areas across the Arab country.

The Ansarullah chief also lambasted the United Nations for failing to take practical measures against the Zionist regime’s crimes and the massacre of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

“The security of Palestinian people as well as regional and oppressed nations has no place in the UN Security Council's programs. Only the security of arrogant powers matters to the Council,” Houthi said.

Houthi noted that the Israeli regime’s ambitions extend beyond Palestinian territories, and include other Arab countries.

He urged Arab countries to take action to nullify threats being posed by Israel.

The Ansarullah leader also cautioned regional countries against falling into US trap, warning that Washington seeks to exploit them for Israel’s benefit.

Houthi finally called for a collective action to confront and counteract the Tel Aviv regime’s expansionist policies, emphasizing the importance of unity and vigilance among Muslim states.
