America & Terrorism in the Middle East... Yemen Model of Resistance to Hegemony and Chaos
Sana'a - Saba:
The United States has used the slogan "War on Terror" as a propaganda tool to justify its military interventions in the Middle East. However, the facts have proven that it has never fought terrorism, but rather created it.
Since Washington adopted this slogan, it has become the primary sponsor of terrorist groups, exploiting their presence to create chaos, redraw the map of influence in the region, plunder its resources, and justify its military occupation of Middle Eastern countries.
The United States' strategy has not been aimed at fighting terrorism, but rather at using terrorist groups as tools to justify its military interventions. Instead of eliminating them, Washington has contributed to their growth and funding to achieve its political and military goals.
Through these policies, terrorist groups became a tool in America's hands to redraw the political map and expand its influence. Over time, it became clear that terrorism was not America's enemy, but rather a means to impose control over countries and plunder resources under the guise of combating a threat of its own making.
Over the decades, events have proven that America is the primary beneficiary of the spread of terrorism. It adopts a dual strategy based on employing terrorist groups to achieve its political and military goals, and then intervening under the pretext of combating them. The emergence of terrorist groups, such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, was not merely the result of local conflicts; rather, it was an extension of American policies that began with the Cold War, when Washington used extremist groups to fight the Soviet Union and later repurposed them to reshape the political map to suit its interests.
In Iraq, the 2003 American invasion represented a step toward reshaping the political and military landscape. This war led to the dismantling of the state and created a fertile environment for the emergence of terrorist groups, most notably ISIS, which represented a direct extension of American policies in the region.
After its withdrawal from Iraq, the United States left a security vacuum that allowed ISIS to expand at an illogical pace. This prompted Washington to return under the pretext of combating ISIS. However, reality revealed that ISIS's expansion was merely a justification for military intervention, not the result of the weakness of the Iraqi government alone.
In Syria, the United States supported armed groups under the label of "moderate opposition." However, these groups served merely as a cover for terrorist factions that used American and Gulf support to ignite war and destroy the country's infrastructure. This support contributed to transforming Syria into an arena of chaos, serving American and Zionist interests. American military intervention became part of a broader strategy to expand Washington's influence in the region.
In this context, al-Julani's rise to the top of the Syrian scene was not merely an internal development; it was the result of direct and indirect American support. Washington and its allies provided political and logistical cover for the movements of armed groups and facilitated their access to weapons under the label of "moderate opposition," allowing them to expand and control territory.
Al-Julani became the leader of all Syrian territories through the Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham gang, which transformed into the country's ruling force and committed the most heinous crimes against civilians, as part of a US project to redraw the map of influence in the region.
The United States' support for terrorism was not limited to extremist groups; it was also a key partner in sponsoring Zionist terrorism against the Palestinians. Since the occupation of Palestine, America has provided the Zionist entity with all forms of military and political support, becoming a partner in the crimes committed by the occupation against the Palestinian people. This support includes funding the occupation army, supplying it with the latest weapons, and providing diplomatic cover at the United Nations to enable it to continue its crimes without accountability.
Washington not only supported the Zionist entity militarily and economically, but also served as its political protector, using its veto power dozens of times to thwart any resolution condemning its crimes in the Security Council. This support enabled Israel to continue its violations without fear of any international sanctions.
Over the past decades, Washington has used the "counter-terrorism" issue as a pretext to silence any voice of resistance. Anyone who rejects American hegemony or confronts the Israeli occupation is labeled a terrorist, while extremist groups that serve American interests are classified as "legitimate opposition" deserving of support. This blatant American bias has exposed the falsity of its claims about combating terrorism and revealed that Washington is not fighting terrorism, but rather protecting it and using it as a tool to achieve its colonial goals.
Yemen has not been immune to these American projects. For decades, Washington used the former regime as a tool to implement its plans and consolidate its military presence through secret bases and destructive policies. These policies contributed to weakening the state and opened the way for terrorist groups to operate freely in certain areas, using them as a pressure tool to be used when needed.
However, the equation changed with the September 21, 2014 revolution, which dealt a devastating blow to Washington's projects. The Yemeni people were able to overthrow American tutelage, expel its agents, and end the American influence that had permeated state institutions.
This revolution represented a strategic shift that cost Washington one of its most important spheres of influence in the region and made Yemen a unique model for confronting American projects. This prompted the United States to launch an aggressive war, using its regional proxies, with the aim of restoring Yemen to the sphere of hegemony. However, this war, despite its brutality, did not achieve its goals. Instead, it strengthened the Yemeni position and demonstrated that the people are capable of perseverance and thwarting all foreign plots.
Yemen today is not merely an arena of confrontation; it is a living model for thwarting American hegemony, having succeeded in breaking its tools and exposing the falsity of its slogans. With the continued steadfastness of free peoples, it becomes clear that the American project in the region is facing its inevitable end, and that the hegemony built on terrorism will collapse in the face of the will and growing awareness of the people.

U.S. Central Command reveals Killing of Houthi Drone Expert in Iraq
The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed the killing of a Houthi-affiliated expert in an airstrike targeting a site inside Iraqi territory, where he was reportedly working alongside members of Kataib Hezbollah and Lebanese Hezbollah to provide technical support in drone operations. The announcement came from General Michael Kurilla during a hearing before the U.S. House Armed Services Committee, where he stated that the strike was carried out in April 2024 and was part of Washington's broader efforts to 'contain Iranian regional influence and prevent advanced weapons from reaching militia groups.' Kurilla emphasized that, despite receiving heavy blows, the Houthi group still poses an "active threat to international navigation" in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait. He also revealed that approximately 80% of Houthi military supplies arrive via maritime smuggling routes originating in Iran. Additionally, he disclosed the existence of a confidential agreement recently reached between the U.S. and the Houthis, in which both sides agreed to suspend attacks—maritime and aerial respectively—allowing four American destroyers to safely transit through the Red Sea. Observers note that this incident highlights the increasing level of cooperation between Iran-aligned militias in the region and reflects the expanding reach of Houthi operations beyond Yemen's borders, amid continued instability across multiple conflict zones.

Sana'a - Saba: President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Wednesday sent a congratulatory cable to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the friendly Russian people's celebration of Sovereignty Day. The cable read: As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, I am pleased to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my cordial wishes for good health, happiness, and further development for your friendly country. As your friendly people celebrate Sovereignty Day, it gives me great pleasure to extend to Your Excellency my warmest congratulations, along with my sincere wishes for your continued health and happiness, and for further growth and prosperity for your friendly country. The Russian role is highly regarded and relied upon in restoring global balance and curbing the blind imperialism that seeks to dominate the sovereignty of nations and interfere in their internal affairs to control the wealth of peoples. We hope that Russia's future role will further promote global peace and stability for all societies and nations—foremost among them the Palestinian cause, as the Palestinian people face genocide at the hands of the brutal Zionist machine, under the cover of American imperialism. Such actions stand in stark violation of all international covenants and agreements. We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our country's keenness to deepen the bonds of friendship with your nation in all fields, in a manner that enhances both regional and international security and stability.
