Defense Minister: The Red Sea is Forbidden to Ships of the Zionist Entity / We Warn America Against Entering the War

The acting Defense Minister, Major General Mohammed Nasser Al-Atefi, has affirmed the Republic of Yemen’s commitment to protecting and securing international navigation in the Red Sea. He stated that Yemen has the right to protect maritime navigation in its territorial waters.

During his visit to the naval and coastal defense forces and the Fifth Military Region on the west coast, the Defense Minister reassured all countries of the world that the Red Sea is a safe area for navigation and international trade, and for the passage of ships, except for those belonging to the Zionist enemy or those related to it.

He clarified that the Red Sea, from the Gulf of Aqaba to Bab al-Mandab, has become forbidden to the Zionist entity, and any ship of the Zionist entity in the Red Sea will be seized or attacked.

He added, “The naval forces, the missile force, and our drones are ready to inflict the harshest individual and collective strikes on the fixed or moving targets of the Zionist entity in support of our people in Gaza, and we will continue to carry out missile strikes and drone attacks on any targets related to the Zionist entity until it stops its aggression on Gaza.”

The Defense Minister also confirmed that the Zionist entity is the first enemy of peace, and peace in the region is contingent upon the disappearance of this usurping entity. He pointed out that the Zionist enemy fell after the seventh of October and the map will be changed at the level of the Arab region and the world.

He indicated that the Zionist enemy, a defeated and failed entity, had its gangs assembled in the past by Western countries to occupy Palestinian lands. He confirmed that the establishment of the Palestinian state on all geography and Palestinian lands will be soon.

He said, “As for the Arab countries, there are leaders and countries that have emerged in this conflict and will continue to the best, foremost among them is the Republic of Yemen under the leadership of the leader of the leaders and the Islamic nation, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, and there are leaders and countries that have fallen and will fall from history, including the normalizing countries, and history will only mention them with the worst words and expressions.”

Major General Al-Atefi explained that the normalization countries have not and will not reap from this battle except shame, humiliation, disgrace,  and prostration because they accepted for themselves to be alongside the Zionist entity. He pointed out that this entity has become a burden on America and Western countries, tarnishes their reputation, harms their interests, and is now dragging America into a regional war.

He added, “We warn America against entering this war because the opponent is strong and competitors from East and North Asian countries are at the doors, and America will be the loser in this war and it should not be dragged behind the Zionist enemy.”

He reiterated that the Yemeni armed forces are in “full readiness and preparedness, and Allah has enabled us to possess all the weapons that reach the enemy wherever it is located in the Red Sea and make their fleets sink to the bottom of the sea.”

He mentioned that the sensitive and important targets of the Zionist entity were hit by ballistic missiles, winged missiles, and drones, and individual and collective missile strikes were inflicted on the Zionist enemy’s ships in the Red Sea and the “Galaxy Leader” ship was seized. He confirmed the full readiness to inflict the biggest defeat on the Zionist enemy.

The acting Defense Minister conveyed the congratulations and blessings of the leader, Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, and the President of the Supreme Political Council – the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, His Excellency Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, to the fighters.

He addressed the fighters, saying, “Greetings to you from the free people of the Yemeni people at home and abroad, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Presidency of the General Staff, you who are stationed in the territorial waters and the Yemeni islands in the Red Sea, and you are defending the west coast and you have dealt with the enemies and the Zionist entity, and we thank Allah for these great victories that have not happened in the history of the conflict with the Zionist entity and what happened like what happened in these days at the level of the Arab countries and the region.”

He continued, “We thank Allah for freedom and independence of decision, the temptation, and intimidation is gone forever, and the countries of the world must deal with Yemen as equals, and as a free and independent state whose capital is Sana’a. He confirmed that the Republic of Yemen is with the Palestinian people and with the Palestinian cause and resistance until the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Major General Al-Atefi pointed out that Yemen has become today a difficult number, an actor, strong, influential in any equation, and in the forefront, and this is thanks to Allah Almighty and thanks to the wise leadership, the free people, and the men of the Yemeni army.
