Yemeni Armed Forces Statement on Siege

Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Almighty said: 'And whoever avenges himself after having been wronged—those have not upon them any cause for blame.'

Allah Almighty has spoken the truth

The criminal Saudi enemy continues its unjust and brutal siege on our beloved people

for nearly 12 years

of plundering wealth and a comprehensive siege on ports and airports

by land, sea, and air, which has exacerbated the suffering of our great people

until the situation reached an unbearable level, without any right or justification for it

And this is something that cannot be accepted or tolerated in silence

because it is not based on any right, or legal or humanitarian justification

and has no legitimacy; it is an invalid and aggressive siege

and its results are catastrophic for the suffering of our beloved Yemeni people

which also began with aggression against our country by targeting Sana'a International Airport

in an unjust, treacherous aggression

Our people cannot suffer from the unjust siege and be attacked without taking a stand

For our great people are a faithful, striving people, the people of faith and wisdom

with a just cause, and they have the full right

In confronting this siege and unjust aggression by all available means,

Accordingly, and in response to the calls of our dear, struggling people

in their great million-man turnout on the Friday of Warning and Mobilization,

and the preceding large tribal gatherings and rallies,

the Yemeni Armed Forces emphasize the following:

First: The Yemeni Armed Forces announce

a ban on maritime navigation for the criminal Saudi enemy, in accordance with the equation of 'siege for siege,'

which will take effect from the moment this statement is announced.

Second: We reaffirm the right of our great people to counter siege with siege

and comprehensive escalation with comprehensive escalation, and to establish this equation.

Third: The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm their full readiness

for all options, and that any folly committed by the reckless Saudi enemy

through comprehensive escalation will be met with a comprehensive and harsh escalation, by God's will and power.

Fourth: We call upon our great people to continue general mobilization and public mobilization

and full preparedness for all scenarios and developments.

And supporting the fronts with fighters

Fifth: We salute with pride and reverence the sons of our great Yemeni people

who turned out in an unprecedented million-man march of warning and mobilization

And we assure them that we will spare no effort to reclaim their plundered rights

and to end the unjust blockade on them, regardless of the consequences and repercussions

seeking help from God and relying on Him

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs

the best Patron and the best Helper

Long live Yemen, free, proud, and independent

And victory to Yemen and all the free people of the nation
