Yemen's Foreign Ministry has warned against attempts to escalate tensions in the region or draw in external powers, stressing that such actors would be the first to bear the consequences of any widening conflict.

In a statement issued Saturday, the ministry said it was following a declaration released by a group of Arab states regarding the Strait of Hormuz, cautioning participating countries against engaging in escalation and describing alignment with the United States as a key factor behind current regional instability.

The ministry added that the United States, through its aggression against the peoples of the region, has placed itself in a strategic impasse and is attempting to draw others into it, while some parties seek to help it exit the crisis.

It further warned that any expansion of the aggression would negatively impact the entire region, including supply chains, energy prices, and the global economy, emphasizing that “free forces” in the region would not allow foreign intervention.

The statement urged Arab states to pressure the criminal Trump, the American aggressor, and its partner, the Zionist entity, to halt the aggression and stop targeting infrastructure and civilian life in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In conclusion, the ministry affirmed that Yemen is closely monitoring developments and will take appropriate measures, calling on the peoples of the region to unite efforts and coordinate in confronting ongoing challenges.

The statement comes amid escalating regional tensions linked to the ongoing confrontation involving the Islamic Republic of Iran, with growing concerns over the security of vital waterways, particularly the Strait of Hormuz. 

Recent developments have raised fears of a broader conflict, especially as the United States and the Zionist entity continue military actions, prompting warnings from regional actors about the risks of internationalizing the crisis and its potential impact on global energy supplies and trade routes.
