The leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announced a "significant decrease in the movement of ships linked to the American and British." He stated, "As soon as they pass, they are targeted." Al-Houthi declared the intention to enhance operations in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, which have now become fields under control, adding that "the level of escalation and impact will be increased at an accelerating pace."
Al-Houthi confirmed that "the American aggression which targeted Yemen with 13 airstrikes this week does not affect our operations, nor does it prevent or limit them," explaining that "the United States is pushing to entangle its clients due to the pressure of Yemeni operations." He noted that "Washington seeks to embroil Saudi Arabia militarily instead of exploiting it economically only."
He issued a warning to Riyadh, stating: "If the Saudi entangles himself and insists on his unjustified aggressive actions against our people, he is a loser." He added that "if the Saudi is willing to sacrifice his future and lose his economic plans for the sake of the Israeli and American, there is no benefit in the 2030 plan, nor in the plans for the development of Riyadh Airport."
