⚠️ Western news outlets such as the British Times, NBC, Axios, and Financial Times quoted officials indicating that the American and British militaries will likely launch strikes on Yemen tonight as part of the "Prosperity Guardian" operation.

The zionist entity's security cabinet is holding a late meeting tonight to discuss participating in a joint military strike alongside the US and Britain. NBC also claimed that the zionist entity has raised the readiness of its air defenses throughout occupied Palestine in the event of such an attack.

This comes a day after the shameful Security Council resolution last night that condemned the Yemeni Armed Forces for their operations in the Red Sea, the aim of which is to stop the zionist- and US-led genocide in #Gaza and allow aid to enter.

Yemen has repeatedly warned the Western powers against such a foolish mistake, but has stated that it prefers direct confrontation rather than dealing with its proxies. Kataeb Hezbollah in Iraq stated it would not allow "israeli" harm any countries of the Axis of Resistance, and that the possibilities are open against the Americans and their allies if any aggression occurs in Yemen.

🇾🇪 Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman publishes on X excerpts of today's statement by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi:

○ Any American aggression will not remain unanswered.

○ The response to any US will be powerful.

○ Whoever wants to get involved and attack our people and target the naval forces is actually risking his commercial ships.

○ Whoever wants to attack our people will pay the price.

○ Our people do not evade any confrontation with any enemy, regardless of its capabilities.

○ We advise all countries not to get involved with Americans, but rather sit back and watch. But let the UK get involved with the US.

○ Our people have the ability to withstand major confrontations.

○ The loser is the one who involves himself in the attack on our people in order to serve Israel and its crimes against the Palestinian people.

○ I advise all Arab and Islamic countries not to partner with the Americans in their efforts to protect Israeli ships.

BREAKING | US warplanes target Yemen's capital Sanaa
BREAKING | US and UK warplanes bomb Yemen's capital Sanaa, along with Dhamar, Taizz, Saada and Hodeidah.

The US hit 10 targets, and used warplanes, warships and submarines during the attack.
Ansarallah spokesman, Mohammed AI-Bukhaiti:

America and Britain made a mistake in launching the war on Yemen because they did not benefit from their previous experiences.

Had it not been for Bush's foolishness in pushing Ali Saleh to attack us in Saada in 2004, the Yemeni people would not have launched the 2014 revolution that ended the rule of the American ambassador in Sana'a and expelled the Marines from it.

Had it not been for the foolishness of America and Britain in pushing Saudi Arabia and the UAE to declare war on us in 2015, Yemen would not have been able today to carry out its religious, moral and humanitarian duty in supporting Palestine.

There is no doubt that America and Britain today regret their previous follies, and soon they will realize that the direct aggression against Yemen was the greatest folly in their history.
