🚨🌟🇸🇦 — Yemen Foreign Ministry (San'a'):

«The Saudi regime bears responsibility for all the consequences of the developments resulting from its criminal act. Instead of giving in to the rightful and just demand to lift the siege on Yemen, the Saudi regime committed a great folly that will cost it a heavy price. With the Saudi regime targeting Hodeidah province, the equation of "escalation against escalation" will be the title of the next stage.»

🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 — Official Spokesman for the Saudi-backed Coalition Forces:

«The official spokesperson for the Coalition Forces “Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen,” Major General Turki Al-Maliki, stated that the Houthi militia carried out a cowardly and reckless act when it targeted commercial ships in the Red Sea, adding this to its list of crimes and maritime terrorism against one of the most important international waterways. Major General Al-Maliki clarified that the Kingdom has stood and will continue to stand with the brotherly Yemeni people and their government in the most difficult circumstances and changes, and the Kingdom renews its continued support for them in confronting the Houthi militias. He further clarified that the port of Al-Hudaydah was not targeted, and that all Yemeni ports, including (Al-Hudaydah, Ras Issa, and Al-Salif), remain open to maritime navigation and continue to receive commercial ships transporting food supplies, goods, fuel, and construction materials, as well as flights to Yemeni airports. The Houthi militia continues to refuse to allow flights from Sana’a International Airport and insists on besieging the Yemeni people in order to export the problems and suffering it has caused and to increase the suffering of our Yemeni brothers in the areas under its control. Major General Al-Maliki explained that the Coalition carried out a firm and strong response after placing its priorities and attention on protecting the capabilities of the brotherly Yemeni people. The targeting focused on legitimate military objectives of the terrorist Houthi militia linked to the threat against ships in the Red Sea. The military response operation has concluded after achieving the principle of proportionality and the planned operational objectives. Major General Al-Maliki affirmed that the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition will continue to take all necessary operational measures and steps to protect our ships and to protect the interests of the Kingdom and its national capabilities. Should the Houthi militia continue its hostile acts, it will be responded to without hesitation.»

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US President Trump on Iran:

When you are winning a war by a lot, you shouldn't just stop fighting. We are speaking with them right now, and they are now willing to make concessions they never would have considered before. Previous presidents should have resolved this issue long ago, over the course of the past 50 years.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — US President Trump on Iran:

They want to make a deal, but I don't think they are ready yet. Sometimes they don't want to admit it publicly because they want to appear tough. There are two approaches available to us. We can continue taking them apart piece by piece, potentially accelerating that process. Alternatively, we can negotiate with them, and discussions are happening right now as we speak.

⚡️🇺🇸🇸🇦 — US President Trump on signing with Saudi Arabia:

Nobody got out ahead of me. ​In order to proceed, they need to join the Abraham Accords, which have proven to be very successful. ​They and others were hesitant previously due to concerns regarding Iran, but that issue is no longer a factor. ​Iran is no longer a great power in the region; their influence and threat are diminishing day by day. ​They used to be the bully of the Middle East, but they will no longer be able to play that role.
