Houthi Official: We Can Face Any Coalition Formed by America

Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, a member of the political bureau of the Houthi group in Yemen, indicated on Monday that his group is capable of confronting any coalition formed by the United States aimed at deploying in the Red Sea. In a statement to "Al Jazeera," he said, "The Americans offered not to obstruct efforts for peace in Yemen in exchange for stopping our military operations in the Red Sea, and we categorically rejected that and any threats." He added, "There are indirect communications with countries including America to stop our operations in the Red Sea."
