Yemen’s Shiite Huthi resistance movement warned on Saturday to attack US ships and warships in the Red Sea if the country “engages in an attack and aggression against Iran along with the Israeli enemy.”

The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, warned as such in a statement in which he asserted that “any American attack or aggression” that supports Israel against Iran is “something that cannot be ignored.”

Sarea pointed out that Israel seeks “total control of the region and to implement the Zionist plan with the support and open collaboration of the United States” by trying to overthrow Iran, because it is their “biggest obstacle to the plan.”

“This means confiscating the freedom, independence, and dignity of our nation, enslaving it, humiliating it, distorting its identity, occupying its homeland, looting its wealth, and establishing a system of permissible bloodshed,” the military leader stated.

Therefore, he warned that “if the United States engages in an attack and aggression against Iran together with the Israeli enemy, the armed forces (of the Houthis) will attack its ships and warships in the Red Sea.”

The Houthi military spokesperson stated today that their “armed forces are monitoring and observing all movements in the region, including hostile movements” against Yemen, and maintained that they “will take the necessary legitimate measures to defend themselves.”

He also affirmed that they “will support any Arab or Islamic country subjected to Zionist aggression or that decides to confront it in self-defense or in support of the Palestinian resistance.”

Sarea added that they will not abandon “their brothers in the Gaza Strip nor will they allow this criminal entity, backed by the U.S., to implement its plans in the region.”
