The armed forces declare, with even greater determination and resolve, that the blood of the martyred Imam and the martyrs will not be shed in vain, and that retribution and vengeance for the blood of the martyred commander will be pursued.

If we detect any breach of agreements during the negotiations, we will respond on the ground.

There has already been a sign for you (O Jews) in the two armies that met (in combat i.e. the battle of Badr): One was fighting in the Cause of Allah, and as for the other (they) were disbelievers. They (the believers) saw them (the disbelievers) with their own eyes twice their number (although they were thrice their number). And Allah supports with His Victory whom He pleases. Verily, in this is a lesson for those who understand.

— Surah Al Imran 3:13
Paraphrase: Reminds of the two armies that met in battle, one fighting for God, the other in disbelief seeing double their true strength, as a lesson for people of insight.

— Surah Al-Ahzab 33:1
Commands the Prophet to remain God-fearing and not obey disbelievers or hypocrites.

— Surah An-Nisa 4:95
States that those who strive/fight with wealth and life are ranked above those who stay behind.

— Surah An-Nisa 4:66
Speaks about that if people had been commanded to kill themselves or leave their homes, only a few would have done it.

— Surah Al Imran 3:139
Tells believers not to weaken or grieve, for they will have the upper hand if they are truly faithful.

Surah Al-Ahzab 33:23

Describes believing men who were true to their covenant with God, some fulfilled it through death, others still waiting, unwavering.

On the morning of this Friday, at 5:20 AM, a formation of Saudi enemy warplanes violated the airspace of Yemeni provinces in an attempt to prevent an Iranian civilian aircraft carrying more than 200 citizens—stranded individuals, wounded, and sick—from landing at Sana’a International Airport, which has been under an unjust blockade along with Yemen for nearly 11 years. However, this attempt failed, by the grace of God, as the Yemeni Armed Forces confronted it by targeting it with several air defense missiles, forcing it to leave the airspace by God’s will and power.

Accordingly, the Yemeni Armed Forces affirm the following:

First: We warn the criminal Saudi enemy against repeating any attempt to violate our airspace or commit aggression against our country, as it will be met with a comprehensive response targeting its airports and vital interests on land and sea.

Second: We will not accept the continued unjust Saudi-American blockade on our country indefinitely, and we will take all legitimate steps to end this blockade.

Third: We call on our dear people to continue the general mobilization and maintain combat readiness in response to the call of the leader, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi—may God protect him.

Fourth: We affirm the readiness of the armed forces in all their formations for any options the leader may decide, and that our hands are on the trigger to carry out directives to lift the Saudi-American blockade on our dear people and expel the occupiers.

Finally, we stress the necessity of ending the blockade and guardianship over Sana’a International Airport. We highly praise and appreciate the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its initiative in breaking the blockade and transporting the sick, stranded, and the official and popular delegation participating in the funeral of the martyr Sayyid Ali Khamenei—may God’s mercy be upon him. We affirm the continuation of flights between Sana’a and Tehran airports, God willing, to lift the blockade and suffering from our dear oppressed Yemeni people, regardless of the consequences and repercussions.
