BAB MANDEB YEMEN

URGENT Deputy Foreign Minister: Whoever involves themselves with the Saudi enemy will pay a heavy price *Sana'a - Yemen* Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Abdulwahid Abu Ras, stated that the principle guiding their stance toward Saudi intransigence is "a siege for a siege." He declared, "Either everyone enjoys freedom, independence, and the utilization of their national wealth, or the declared equation with the Saudi enemy will govern us." The Deputy Foreign Minister added in a statement, "Whoever wishes to entangle themselves with the Saudi enemy, that is their business, but they will pay a heavy price as a result of their mistaken decision. We are acting in accordance with legitimate rights guaranteed to us by all customs, laws, and charters." He emphasized that there is no law on earth that confiscates the legitimate rights of peoples except the law of the jungle, pointing out that the Saudi enemy must fully realize that the only way to lift the siege on them is to lift the siege on Yemen, period. Abu Ras concluded his statement by warning all countries of the world to compel their companies to steer clear of Saudi ports until further notice, considering this a disclaimer of responsibility.

Saudi Arabia launched its aggression against Yemen by bombing Sana'a International Airport, destroying several aircraft and most of its facilities on March 26, 2015. The subsequent aggression carried out by the Zionists against the airport was merely them following the Saudi method—targeting civilian infrastructure to fabricate an achievement out of their crimes. ​Furthermore, what entity other than Saudi Arabia seeks to restrict flights to and from Sana'a International Airport to a single destination, only to then deafen the world through loudspeakers with claims that it is not blockading Yemen!?"

​The Government of Change and Construction Refutes the Lies of the Saudi Enemy’s Council of Ministers ​Yemen - Sana'a ​The Government of Change and Construction affirmed that the Saudi enemy insists, through the statement issued by its Council of Ministers, on continuing its series of lies, fallacies, and falsification of facts that are as clear as the sun in broad daylight. These facts are represented by its unjust blockade, brutal aggression, and horrific crimes against the Yemeni people over the past 12 years, which have created the world's worst man-made humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations. ​In a statement, the Government of Change and Construction clarified that the Saudi enemy, through these lies and fallacies, aims to absolve itself of a dark, black record of crimes committed in Yemen. This is despite these crimes being documented in audio and video, alongside previous official confessions issued by its own official spokespersons at the beginning of the aggression and blockade on our country, when Saudi Arabia believed it would occupy Yemen in a matter of days. Instead, it later found itself facing a devastating loss and an abysmal failure, while concurrently entangled in an endless list of crimes against a brotherly and neighboring Arab Muslim people. ​The government also affirmed that what Saudi Arabia has done was in service to the American and Israeli enemy, enabling them to control the entire region. Therefore, they are now working to evade all this disgrace and shame wrought by their own hands. Unfortunately, they do not do so through remorse and retracting from the crime, but rather by insisting on lies and fallacies. Even more detestable is their attack on the most honorable and purest battle the Yemeni people take pride in: the battle in support of Gaza. This stance has been a source of pride for all peoples of the Arab and Islamic world, and indeed all free peoples of the world, yet the statement issued by the Saudi enemy's government described it as "conflicts for ominous goals," as they put it. ​The Government of Change and Construction pointed out that this most clearly proves the Saudi regime's betrayal of the Nation (Ummah) and its honorable, just causes, such as the Palestinian cause, in favor of the Zionist Jewish and American enemies. ​The government renewed the affirmation that Yemen—with its leadership, government, Armed Forces, people, and all its tribes—has decided to vindicate its grievances, put a final end to them, lift the blockade on its country, and reclaim its wealth and all its rights from the Saudi enemy. The people have taken to the squares in a historic, unprecedented, and staggering million-man turnout to confirm their clear choice of mandating the leadership and the Armed Forces to take action and impose the equation of a "blockade for a blockade." In doing so, they rely upon Allah, depend on Him, and trust in His victory, Glory be to Him, who says: {That [is so]. And whoever responds [to an attack] with the equivalent of that with which he was attacked and then is rebelled against again - Allah will surely support him. Indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.}

Within the context of breaking the unjust and oppressive siege imposed by the Saudi enemy on our dear people for twelve years, and in affirmation of the equation of "siege for a siege," and in confirmation of the right of our great people to confront Saudi-American injustice and tyranny and to reclaim their wealth and legitimate rights. The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting two Saudi oil tankers that violated the blockade imposed by the Armed Forces in the Red Sea. One tanker was named "ENCELIA" and the other is "LAYLA." The operation was carried out by a number of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. The strikes were precise, thanks to Allah's grace and assistance, and resulted in a large fire broke out on both vessels. In the same context, the Yemeni Armed Forces forced approximately ten ships to retreat and return. The Armed Forces will continue their naval operations against the Saudi enemy and will persist in enforcing the "A siege for a siege" equation. We affirm to the Saudi enemy that any folly or aggression targeting our country will be met with large-scale operations deep within its territory, and the consequences will be dire for it, by Allah's will and power. The Armed Forces salute the our great people of Yemen for their honorable demonstrations in the squares and arenas, and assure them of their continued commitment to restoring their rights and lifting the siege imposed on them, by Allah's will.

🔹️Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs: A statement by some countries ignoring the blockade imposed by the Saudi regime on the Yemeni people, drafted in a unified form. Do countries accept the closure of their airports from Saudi Arabia, the closure of their ports, and the prohibition of allowing any goods to enter except with Saudi permission?

​🇾🇪 BREAKING | Head of the Negotiating Delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam: ​The Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of a maritime navigation ban on the Saudi regime is a step that #Yemen was forced to take in response to the Saudi regime's refusal to respond peacefully to Yemen's rightful and just demands. ​#Saudi_Arabia was given ample time to fulfill its obligations to address the repercussions of its brutal aggression against Yemen. The Yemeni people endured much suffering in the hope of reaching peaceful solutions away from military escalation. However, the Saudi regime has insisted on ignoring [demands], procrastinating, and betting on time to escape the implementation of its required obligations. ​During the four years since the 2022 truce until now, the Saudi regime has treated the aggression it committed for eight years as an internal Yemeni problem that it has nothing to do with, which is one of the biggest obstacles preventing a comprehensive solution. ​The Saudi regime has desperately sought to deny being behind the blockade imposed on Yemen. However, its recent aggression against Sana'a International Airport and its military statement—which treated Yemen as a Saudi province and threatened the continuation of the blockade—served as a scandal and an outright condemnation. It became clear to everyone, near and far, that it is the entity responsible for the disruption of Sana'a International Airport throughout the past years. Furthermore, it is the primary instigator behind the maritime blockade, where ships arriving at the port of Hodeidah face numerous complications. This doubles the financial cost of all imported goods, making their prices exorbitant for the Yemeni citizen. ​The Saudi regime's belief that it can indefinitely prolong the blockade is a mistaken assumption and a losing bet. Our Yemeni people have spoken their decisive word during Friday's unprecedented million-man protests, declaring that the grace period granted to the Saudi regime has ended. Through its foolishness and arrogance, it bears the consequences of any escalation, and a blockade for a blockade is the natural, legal, and moral response to the Saudi regime's stubbornness. ​We affirm that the Yemeni military stance aims to pressure the Saudi regime until it submits to what is right, completely lifts the blockade on Yemen's airports and seaports, and ensures Yemen has the absolute right to benefit from its sovereign wealth. Additionally, the humanitarian and salary files must be addressed, and the prisoner file must be swiftly closed without any procrastination. ​#Blockade_For_Blockade #Escalation_For_Escalation
