Statement issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces

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

Allah the Almighty said:

O you who have believed,

if you support Allah, He will support you

and plant your feet firmly.

Allah the Almighty has spoken the truth.

In confronting the American and Zionist aggression against the Axis of Jihad and Resistance

in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen,

and in rejection of the Zionist project

seeking to establish Greater Israel

under the name of the New Middle East,

and in our endeavor to break the unjust and brutal siege

imposed by the American enemy on our people and the free, dear peoples of the Axis

in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran,

and within the framework of the unity of the arenas

and confronting the enemies,

and in response to the Zionist aggression against Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza,

the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out

the launch of a batch of missiles

targeting sensitive sites of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Jaffa region.

They have successfully achieved their targets, by the grace of Allah.

In this context,

the Yemeni Armed Forces emphasize the following:

First:

We declare a complete and total ban on maritime navigation

for the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea,

and we consider all movements of the enemy

to have become a military target for our armed forces

from the moment this statement is announced.

Second,

we confirm that we will meet escalation with escalation,

and that our military operations

will be escalating

in line with the events and the battle,

and participating

and in partnership with the Axis of Jihad and Resistance.

Third,

we emphasize the right of our people and the free peoples of our nation

to confront the American-Israeli aggression,

and that we will not stand idly by

in the face of the unjust siege on our people

and the peoples of the Axis of Jihad and Resistance

in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq,

and that all attempts by the enemy

will fail, God Almighty willing,

and our operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege on us continue

and on the Axis of Jihad and Resistance.

Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs,

the best Patron and the best Helper.

Long live Yemen, free, dear, and independent,

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

Sana'a, the 22nd of Dhu al-Hijjah.
