Member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, said that the United States had threatened to mobilize fronts against Yemen via Omani back channels.

Tehran (ISNA) - In a post on X, Al-Houthi said that expanding the scope of engagement in the region is one among many other threats made by the US against the Yemeni people via Omani officials.

The official said that any American "endeavors or folly" would end in failure, adding that the Yemeni people who took the morally and ideologically-driven decision of supporting the Palestinian people, "will not be deterred" from "their mission [of supporting] Gaza."

In this context, the Minister of Defense in the Sanaa government, Major General Mohammed Nasser Al-Atifi, warned the United States and Britain on Tuesday against attempting to militarize the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Gulf of Aden.

He reiterated that navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea is "secured and stable" for all destinations around the world, except for those ships heading to Israeli-occupied ports in Palestine and Israeli-owned, US-owned, and UK-owned ships.

He confirmed that the Yemeni people "will not be intimidated by internationally prohibited American missiles and bombs," and fleets, aircraft carriers, and destroyers will not deter them from fulfilling their duties towards Palestine, especially in the face of the ongoing aggression.
