Wider war will end US hegemony in region, warns Yemen

Yemen’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the latest wave of US and British airstrikes against the country, stressing that such attacks will not ever make the Yemeni nation and government backtrack on their pro-Palestinian stances.

The ministry in the Sana'a-based National Salvation Government deplored the most recent assaults on multiple targets in the strategic western province of Hudaydah as well as Sa’ada in the country’s northwest, stating that continuing US-British aggression clearly points to the UN Security Council’s failure to take on its responsibilities.

“The US and British airstrikes are meant to obscure the Zionists’ defeats as they perpetrate atrocities against ordinary people and civilians in Gaza.

“These assaults won’t ever make the Republic of Yemen do a volte-face on its humanitarian and ethical duties concerning Palestinians and their cause,” a statement released by the foreign ministry read.

US, UK carry out more airstrikes on Yemen’s Hudaydah, Sa’ada

The US and Britain conduct more strikes on the Yemeni provinces of Sa

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network reported late on Sunday that US and British forces had struck 11 targets in Hudaydah province, with most of the aerial raids aimed at the port of Ras Isa and al-Zaydiya city.

Baqim district in Sa’ada province was bombed four times, while the eastern flank of Sa’ada city, located 240 kilometers (149 miles) north of the capital Sana’a, was hit once.

Top Ansarullah official: Yemen undeterred by US, UK aggression

A high-profile member of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has also denounced the latest US and British strikes on positions in Yemen, emphasizing that such attacks are ineffectual.

Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarullah's political bureau, stated that the anti-Yemen strikes have so far been carried out only by the United States and the United Kingdom, signifying differences within members of the US-formed coalition in Red Sea and its imminent breakup.

“Rules of engagement imposed by the United States, the Zionist entity and Britain have now been rewritten. The spillover of the [Gaza] will inevitably result in an end to US hegemony across the region,” Bukhaiti noted.

Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

The United States and United Kingdom have been carrying out strikes against Yemen after the Biden administration and its allies offered the Tel Aviv regime unqualified support and said that Yemeni forces bear the consequences of their attacks against Israeli-owned ships or merchant vessels heading to the occupied territories.

Yemen warns escalation will only add to West’s woes in region

Yemen says attacks by the US and allies on countries in the region will go nowhere.

Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 27,365 people and wounded another 66,630 individuals, come to an end. 

Leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, has said that it is “a great honor and blessing to be confronting America directly.”

The attacks have forced some of the world’s biggest shipping and oil companies to suspend transit through one of the world’s most important maritime trade routes. Tankers are instead adding thousands of miles to international shipping routes by sailing around the continent of Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal.
