Sana'a – SABA:
Revolution Leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi reaffirmed Yemen's unwavering and principled stance in supporting the Palestinian people, whether through missile strikes into the depth of occupied Palestine or by imposing a blockade on Israeli ships.
In his speech today on the latest developments in Gaza and the regional and international situation, Sayyed al-Houthi stated: 'The Yemeni position was never, as claimed by the criminal infidel Trump, one of pleading or surrender. That is farther from reality than the sun itself. The American declaration is not the result of begging or surrender, but mere bluster—something Trump is known for.'
He noted that while the U.S. escalated its second wave of air and naval strikes, it failed to impact Yemen's military capabilities, did not halt operations, and had no effect on the public will of the Yemeni people who continue to hold massive weekly rallies in hundreds of public squares.
He added, 'Faced with its failure to influence our steadfast position and capabilities, the U.S. has now announced—through our brothers in the Sultanate of Oman—that it will suspend its support. Our position has not wavered or weakened; rather, it remains strong and integrated. At no point in this struggle have we ever considered speaking to a criminal enemy in the language of surrender, pleading, or weakness.'
The Leader emphasized that Yemen's clear and declared priority is supporting the Palestinian people against the Zionist enemy. 'Our top priority is supporting the Palestinian people and their brave fighters. When the Americans launched an aggression, we confronted it.'
He continued, 'Our clear and declared priority is to support Palestine against the Israeli enemy. The U.S. and Britain attacked our country during the first round to support Israel, before pausing with the truce in Gaza.'
He further explained, 'We resumed our support operations after Trump spoke about the displacement of Palestinians and massive U.S. support for genocide in Gaza. The Americans launched another round of aggression against our country, hoping to achieve what they previously failed to. But they failed again and suffered greater losses.'
Sayyed al-Houthi stated that although the Americans destroyed many civilian structures and caused hundreds of deaths and injuries among Yemenis, they were unable to stop the operations, destroy capabilities, or break the will of the Yemeni people.
He asserted that Yemen is fully prepared to confront any further U.S. escalation, saying, 'We stand vigilant, relying on God. As a people of faith, we act according to Quranic values—humble with the believers, firm against the disbelievers. Our slogan 'Death to America, Death to Israel' is an expression of our faith-driven pride. Our practical stances—our missiles, drones, warships, and steadfast political resolve—clearly reflect this dignity.'
He remarked, 'If our position wasn't effective, the U.S. wouldn't have mobilized all its power, aircraft carriers, and bombers. If our actions were mere theatrics, the U.S. wouldn't be on high alert with its full force.'
Sayyed al-Houthi explained that the intensity of American air raids demonstrates the effectiveness of Yemen's stance and operations, showing that Yemen holds a strong and cohesive position.
He confirmed that Yemen's support for the Palestinian people stems from faith and that they have witnessed divine assistance. He stated that the maritime support operations—blocking Israeli ships—have achieved complete success, and that the missile and drone strikes into occupied Palestine continue with growing momentum.
He highlighted the success of a major operation this week targeting Lod Airport (Ben Gurion Airport), which had significant global impact and demonstrated the failure of Israel's layered defense systems, including the U.S.-supplied THAAD system.
He mentioned that these attacks have caused substantial economic and logistical disruption, including flight cancellations, decreased tourism, and mass panic, with over 30 million Israelis forced into shelters.
The Revolution Leader pointed out that the U.S. has carried out nearly 200 attacks on Yemen this week, mostly targeting civilian infrastructure, and emphasized that the failure of U.S. support forced Israel to directly attack Yemen.
He also detailed that from Ramadan 15 to Dhu al-Qa'dah 9, Yemen carried out over 131 operations with 253 missiles and drones—despite heavy American bombardment.
He called on the Yemeni people to participate in a massive demonstration the following day, to thank God for the failure of American efforts, to challenge the Israeli enemy, and to express solidarity with Palestine.
Sayyed al-Houthi criticized the inaction of the Arab and Islamic world in the face of the genocide in Gaza and emphasized that failing in their sacred responsibility of jihad and confronting injustice brings divine wrath and disastrous consequences.
He warned that the Zionist plan targets all Arabs and Muslims—regardless of political alignment or normalization—with the goal of domination and control over the region, especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He closed by encouraging the Muslim world to rise in support of Palestine, denouncing Zionist ideology and actions, and praising the perseverance of Palestinian fighters. He also warned of U.S. attempts to incite conflict between India and Pakistan, urging diplomatic efforts to prevent a destructive war.
