• We consider the targeting of the Central Correctional Facility and those inside it a grave crime and a highly dangerous development. We hold the Saudi enemy fully responsible for it, as well as for its repercussions and the consequences of continuing the escalation.

• Yemen will not stand idly by in the face of the continued escalation. It has the full and legitimate right to defend its people, sovereignty, and interests. The Saudi enemy must understand that every escalation has consequences.

🇮🇶 | #IraqiResistance | Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq:

Following its criminal aggression against the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, the ruling family of the Land of the Hijaz continues its crimes against the Yemeni people, as part of the ongoing series of Zionist-American crimes against the peoples opposing American hegemony in the region.

These brutal actions only increase the Yemeni people’s determination to continue along the path of resistance, their resolve to reclaim their rights, and their firm will to break the unjust Saudi blockade.

The Saudi enemy, known for its criminal conduct, has committed a massacre that adds to its long record of crimes by carrying out a brutal bombardment of civilian sites in Al-Hazm District of Al-Jawf Governorate. It continues its aggression against hospitals, roads, mourning halls, and all other vital facilities of life in Yemen, the land of dignity and steadfastness.

As we renew our absolute solidarity with the brotherly Yemeni people in their legitimate defense of their land, we salute the efforts of their sons stationed on the fronts of confrontation and dignity against the Saudi entity and its mercenaries. They have proven to the world that the will of peoples is stronger than aircraft and missiles, and that the truth, no matter how long it takes, will inevitably prevail, with the help of God.

🇮🇷 | Secretary of Iran's National Security Council:

In recent days, Washington has received a clear warning from Iran's new missiles. The economic war will be met with the establishment of a maritime blockade zone across the Persian Gulf, extending to the area of the blockade. The operational situation regarding U.S. warships and bases has been fundamentally reassessed.

🇾🇪 🇾🇪 | Yemen Armed Forces statement on targeting Aramco facilities and Khamis Mushait Air Base:

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

“Those who defend themselves after being wronged, there is no blame against them.” God Almighty has spoken the truth.

For twelve years, our dear Yemeni people have been subjected to aggression and a blockade by the criminal Saudi enemy. Over the past three days, the criminal Saudi enemy has launched a brutal and unjust aggression against our people, targeting the governorates of Marib, Al-Bayda, Hodeidah, Taiz, and Al-Jawf with dozens of airstrikes and committing major crimes. The latest was the Al-Jawf crime, which claimed the lives of a large number of inmates at the Central Prison in Al-Hazm city, including women and children among the visitors. This is part of its effort to occupy our country and kill our people in a major and comprehensive escalation serving the American and Israeli enemy.

In response to this brutal aggression and in confronting comprehensive escalation with comprehensive escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a large-scale and significant military operation targeting Aramco facilities in Abha and Najran, the Economic City, Aramco Jizan, and Khamis Mushait Air Base with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. The strikes were accurate and direct, by the grace of Allah, and caused significant damage to those facilities.

The Yemeni Armed Forces hold the Saudi enemy responsible for the escalation. Every attack against our country and our people will be met with a decisive response, and we will not hesitate to launch stronger and broader strikes against the criminal Saudi enemy, God willing.

All movements, attacks, and military mobilizations by the Saudi enemy will not intimidate our dear country, Yemen, the land of Islam and Arabism, nor will they weaken the resolve of our believing, free, and fighting people, the people of faith and wisdom. Rather, we will become even more determined to confront every aggression and every attack. Our people stand on the side of truth, while our enemy stands on the side of falsehood. Indeed, falsehood is destined to perish.

We affirm that, with the power and strength of Allah, we will continue our operations against the Saudi depth, target its military mobilizations, and establish the equation of blockade for blockade until the aggression ends and the blockade on our dear country is lifted.

Allah is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs. He is the Best Protector and the Best Supporter.

Long live Yemen, free, proud, and independent.

Victory for Yemen and for all free people of the nation.
