Sana'a: Honorable Stances with Palestine and a Haven for the Free People of the World
Sana'a – Saba: The Yemeni people continue to prove, time and again throughout their ancient and modern history, that they are resilient against conspiracies and will never succumb to external hegemony, regardless of the aggressors' arrogance. History testifies that Yemen has always been, and will remain, the graveyard of invaders and occupiers. After a decade of war and blockade imposed by the US-Saudi-UAE coalition since March 26, 2015, the aggression has failed to break Yemen's will. Despite the vast resources spent to destroy its infrastructure, Yemen has emerged more resilient. The aggression, which has resulted in the worst humanitarian catastrophe in modern history, entered a renewed phase in March 2025. However, after bitter experiences, Washington, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi have reaped nothing but defeats, disgrace, and shame. Before this period, Yemen was under foreign tutelage, treated as a mere backyard for global powers. But with the September 21, 2014 Revolution, the equation shifted, and Yemen's decision-making became independent and firmly in the hands of its people. Today, under the leadership of Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi and Yemen's free people, the nation has overcome many challenges and now possesses advanced military capabilities that can deter its enemies. Alongside its military strength, Yemen has also taken an unwavering stance in supporting Palestine, reaffirming it as the central cause of the Muslim Ummah. The Arab-Israeli conflict remains ongoing, particularly after the 'Al-Aqsa Flood' operation. The Zionist-American enemy continues to target the region and the Axis of Resistance. The renewed US aggression against Yemen and the Zionist assault on Gaza is merely part of a broader battle, one that is destined to end in victory for the resistance forces, with Yemen at the forefront. Yemen's steadfast support for Palestine stems from a deep-rooted sense of dignity, faith, and unwavering conviction. This commitment has frustrated the US administration, prompting figures like Donald Trump to issue empty threats in an attempt to deter Yemen from enforcing its naval blockade on Israeli-bound ships. Following US threats and its military strikes on civilian areas in Sana'a and other provinces, Yemen responded swiftly by targeting the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier and its accompanying destroyers four times within 72 hours. This demonstrated Yemen's refusal to submit to intimidation and its unwavering support for Gaza, regardless of the cost. Analysts view the latest US strikes on Yemen as a dangerous escalation that could lead to a broader regional conflict. They also highlight the predicament faced by **President Trump**, especially given Sana'a's firm stance on continuing to target Israeli-bound vessels until the Zionist blockade on Gaza is lifted. Thanks to its brave and principled stance, Yemen has become a beacon for free people worldwide, a force capable of reshaping the balance of power in favor of the oppressed. The influx of Arab, Islamic, and international delegations to Sana'a for the Third Conference on "Palestine: The Central Cause of the Ummah" stands as a testament to this growing influence.

New U.S. airstrikes pound Yemen, targeting many areas
ALBAWABA- The United States launched four airstrikes on the Al-Katheeb area in the Mina district, along with attacks on Al-Asayed in Al-Safraa, Sa'dah, as part of its ongoing military campaign against Yemen, according to Ansar Allah-affiliated, Houthi media. Also Read U.S. renews airstrikes on Sana'a, injuring 7 women The U.S. airstrikes, which have continued since Sunday, follow President Donald Trump's announcement of a "decisive operation" against the Houthis after designating them a global terrorist organization. Washington cited the group's military actions in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, as well as its blockade of Israeli-bound vessels in support of Gaza, as threats to maritime security and Israel, its closest ally in the region. The recent wave of strikes has hit multiple Yemeni governorates, including Sana'a, Hodeida, Taiz, Amran, Hajja, Al-Bayda, Dhamar, Ma'rib, and Al-Jawf. The bombings have resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries, including women and children, while also causing widespread destruction to civilian infrastructure. On Wednesday, U.S. airstrikes on a wedding hall under construction in Sana'a left seven women and two children wounded, further devastating the surrounding neighborhood.

Pentagon threatens ‘overwhelming, lethal force' against Houthis
Washington will continue to strike Houthi militants until they cease their attacks on US Navy ships protecting commercial vessels off Yemen's coast, the Pentagon's new spokesman Sean Parnell has said during his first briefing. On Saturday, US President Donald Trump threatened the Houthis with 'powerful military action' aimed at restoring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. Since October 2023, the Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis, have launched multiple drones and missiles at Israeli-bound commercial vessels off Yemen's coast, disrupting key shipping routes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The group said that it is acting in support of the Palestinians amid Israel's military operation in Gaza. During his briefing on Monday, Parnell insisted that the US will keep using 'overwhelming, lethal force' against the Houthis until they stop targeting American warships. He blamed the group for carrying out a total 170 attacks against US Navy ships and 145 against commercial vessels. 'There is a very clear end-state to this operation, and that begins the moment that the Houthis pledge to stop attacking our ships and putting American lives at risk,' he said. The spokesman stressed that the Yemeni militants 'could stop this tomorrow… but they have clearly chosen not to do that.' Because of this, the US 'campaign will be relentless to degrade their capability,' Parnell warned. Air Force Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during the same briefing that the 'initial wave' of US strikes had hit more than 30 targets at multiple locations inside Yemen, inducing training sites, drone infrastructure, arms depots and command-and-control centers. On Monday, Trump claimed that the Houthi attacks 'emanate from, and are created by, Iran,' warning that from now on, Washington would view every shot fired by the Yemeni group as if it was fired by Tehran. 'Iran will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire,' the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. Tehran, which has consistently denied any involvement in the Houthis operations, condemned the US bombing of Yemen as a blatant violation of the UN Charter and a major threat to regional and international peace and security. The Houthis said the same day that despite the US strikes, they will keep targeting vessels off Yemen's coast 'until aid and basic needs are delivered to the Gaza Strip.'
