Salami: America yielded to Yemen's power, Gaza thwarted superpowers
Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Hossein Salami said on Tuesday "Iran's power in confronting global challenges and enemy threats has increased significantly, and we are facing problems with greater confidence."
According to Tasnim International News Agency, at the conclusion of the conference of teachers and leaders of Al-Salihin Educational Network, held in the holy city of Mashhad, he praised the strength of the people of Gaza in confronting Israel and America.
Salami noted the achievements of the Yemenis in confronting America, and highlighted the strength of "Yemen," saying, "The faith of these people is unshakable. When we speak with them, we find that their language is purely Quranic. This courage and faith enabled them to crush America and Israel."
He added, "US President Donald Trump praised Yemen and described them as amazing." He declared a unilateral ceasefire, showing that even the enemies recognize Yemen's strength.
Salami said, "After two months of intensive bombing in Yemen, America has reached the conclusion that it has achieved nothing. This demonstrates their weakness and failure."
He added, "The American aircraft carriers, which are like floating cities, were unable to make any progress, and the enemy saw that damaging them would cause major problems for America, so they were forced to cease fire."
Salami said, "In Gaza, people are living without water or food and are facing harsh conditions. Yet, they were able to thwart two superpowers: America, as the main supporter of Israel," according to Iran's Tasnim News Agency.

Yemen : OCHA urges Security Council to prevent starvation
Briefing to the Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Yemen by Ramesh Rajasingham, OCHA Director of Coordination, on behalf of Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator New York, 12 August 2025 As delivered Thank you, Mr. President. I thank Special Envoy Grundberg for his briefing and update, and this Council for its sustained interest in Yemen. At the outset, let me reiterate that a political solution remains the only sustainable, concrete path towards a more secure and prosperous future for all people in Yemen. Without it, current cycles of violence – local and regional – along with economic devolution and endemic humanitarian need, will persist. The crisis in Yemen is a political crisis with a staggering impact on millions of people and their communities – people who do not choose who controls the areas where they live. Humanitarian assistance can work to keep people alive, but only a political solution can make them safe. Mr. President, Last month, OCHA provided this Council with an update on the deteriorating state of food security in Yemen. The numbers bear repeating: More than 17 million people are going hungry. This figure may crest 18 million by February next year. Women and children bear the brunt of this disaster. Yemen is now one of the most food insecure countries in the world. As the economy continues to collapse and pressures on the food pipelines mount, many households with access to food can no longer afford it. Livelihoods across the public sector and agriculture and fisheries industries, among others, have been disrupted by ongoing conflict. Mr. President, It is all too easy to reduce Yemen's crisis to numbers. But let us consider what 'food insecurity' means today for ordinary Yemenis. Half of the nation's children under the age of 5 suffer from acute malnutrition, and nearly half suffer from stunting. This means developmental delays and infections, and a risk of death from common illnesses nine to 12 times higher than average. In a context where healthcare is desperately inadequate, and where support services are unavailable to many, this is a life-or-death gamble for children. For nine-month-old Ahmed in Abs district in Hajjah governorate, lack of food and nutrients left him less than two thirds of a healthy weight, so frail that he couldn't sit up and suffering from severe diarrhea and a high fever. His mother, Hafsa, was doing her best under appallingly difficult circumstances, but Ahmed still required emergency treatment for severe acute malnutrition, complicated by infection. And all this at nine months of age. This is not an isolated story. It is the daily reality for thousands of families and their children. They deserve better. In some locations, hunger and malnutrition are extreme. In camps for internally displaced persons in Abs District of Hajjah governorate, for example, a needs assessment mission in July found children from displaced families dying of starvation. These are children who have died not from war wounds, but from hunger – slow, silent and preventable. This is the human face of food insecurity. Hunger forces people to have to make terrible decisions – 'negative coping strategies,' as we frequently refer to them. But what does this mean in real human terms? In rural areas of the governorates of Al Mahwit, Al Hudaydah and Sana'a, it means families are having to sell off everything that would sustain their livelihoods in the long term – livestock, tools, their agricultural land – just to afford food for tomorrow. It means that children are forced to work instead of going to school. And it means that women and adolescent girls face heightened risks of domestic violence, exploitation or child marriage. In these three governorates alone, more than 30,000 women and girls have sought support services for gender-based violence just in the last six months. Nearly one third of women now aged 20 to 24 were married before they were 18. Nearly one in 10 were married before they turned 15. Among girls in displaced communities, those figures are even higher. These families and these girls also deserve better. Mr. President, Starvation is preventable. And humanitarian organizations remain on the ground despite limited resources and operational challenges, with the singular goal of reaching those most at risk before it is too late. After receiving alarming information of the acute food insecurity and malnutrition situation in IDP camps in Abs district last month, for example, the humanitarian system – including UN, INGOs, local NGOs and the Red Cross and Red Crecent Movement – quickly mobilized to provide life-saving interventions. Humanitarian partners have prioritized the food response to 8.8 million of the most at-risk people – all in emergency or catastrophic situations. It will come as no surprise that such efforts require support –

Foreign Affairs: Decision to announce termination of UN envoy to Yemen possible if agenda of aggressor countries continues to be implemented
Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed on Tuesday regret over the contents of the briefing of Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Hans Grundberg before the Security Council session held Tuesday. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates affirmed that it followed, as usual, the briefing of the UN envoy to Yemen before the Security Council on August 12, 2025 AD. Unfortunately, his briefing continues to revolve around a vicious circle and steers clear of the root causes of the crisis in Yemen. The Ministry indicated that talk of peace and stability remains incomplete without a clear reference to the ongoing Saudi-Emirati military aggression, the American, British, and Israeli aggression, as well as the comprehensive and unjust blockade imposed on the Yemeni people for years. The statement noted that the briefing did not provide an accurate and impartial description of the reality on the ground, which undermines its credibility and makes it appear as if it is settling the victim and the perpetrator. Regarding the UN envoy's reference to escalation on the front lines, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that any military actions by the Yemeni armed forces are part of a legitimate response to the ongoing violations by the mercenary side, which has not committed to a genuine and comprehensive ceasefire. The Ministry also emphasized that strengthening defensive positions in areas in Hodeida is a natural measure and a sovereign right to protect Yemeni territory and vital infrastructure, especially with the ongoing threats of aggression. It expressed surprise that Sana'a was held responsible for the fragmentation of the Yemeni economy, when the real cause lies in the unilateral decisions taken by the "Central Bank in Aden," affiliated with the coalition's mercenary government. The statement emphasized that these decisions, which led to the collapse of the currency, were made under the direction and direct support of the aggressor states. The statement explained that the measures taken by the Government of Change and Construction, including the issuance of currency, are necessary measures aimed at protecting the national economy and maintaining currency stability in areas controlled by the Supreme Political Council, ensuring the continued provision of services to citizens. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the UN envoy to assume his responsibility impartially and speak frankly about the unilateral measures taken by mercenaries that threaten the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Yemen. These measures include the issuance of new identity cards, a move aimed at perpetuating political separation and undermining the Yemeni social fabric. These measures also include unilateral measures aimed at restricting citizens by obstructing the process of authenticating educational documents, criminal records, and medical professional licenses, among other things. The statement reiterated that the support and backup operations for the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab are in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza, and are not part of the internal conflict, as the UN envoy is promoting. The statement pointed out that these operations will not cease until the aggression stops and the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted. It noted the UN envoy's attempts to link the operations to the aggression and blockade on Yemen and to discuss the damage to ports, while deliberately ignoring the direct attacks carried out by the aggression on Yemeni ports and airports since the beginning of the war. The statement also ignores its responsibility to alleviate the suffering of special humanitarian cases requiring travel for medical treatment, which has resulted in the deaths of some of them. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates also renewed its call for the UN envoy and the Security Council to adopt a more neutral and objective position, based on serious efforts to halt the aggression and fully lift the blockade, and to stop using humanitarian and economic issues as a tool of political pressure. The Ministry's statement emphasized that the decision to announce the termination of the UN envoy's mandate is possible if he continues to represent one party and implement the agenda of the countries aggressing against the Yemeni people.
