ABNA24 - Yemen’s Foreign Ministry has stressed that the Saudi regime was responsible for ending the de-escalation phase and that its supporters are complicit in its crimes.
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday night that the Saudi regime was the party that closed Sanaa International Airport. It added that the regime ended the de-escalation phase on July 13 by targeting Sanaa Airport to prevent a humanitarian flight from arriving.
The statement said attempts by some parties to impose Saudi occupation on Yemen were impossible and unacceptable, even if the conflict escalated to the highest level and regardless of the consequences.
The ministry stressed that anyone who grants legitimacy to the criminal Saudi regime, which wreaks havoc across Yemen’s provinces with its fighter jets and missiles, is complicit in all its crimes. It added that anyone seeking to deprive Yemen of its legitimate right to respond to the Saudi regime’s crimes against the country, or to undermine that right, is also complicit in all its crimes.
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry further stated that the Saudi regime’s move to turn the Bab al-Mandab Strait and surrounding areas into a theater of military operations had deprived the strategically important region of security and stability. It warned that continued military operations in the strait would harm trade and held the Saudi regime responsible for the consequences.
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the world’s wise and responsible leaders must compel the Saudi regime to leave Yemen alone, end all hostile actions against the country, and treat it in accordance with the principle of good neighborliness. It said that doing so would bring all wars and conflicts to an end.
Yemen: We Have Prepared Many Surprises for the Enemy
In a related development, Hazam al-Asad, a member of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement’s political bureau, told Al Mayadeen that Sanaa had dealt a heavy blow to the Al Saud regime and its arms, which had claimed to control the Bab al-Mandab Strait. He said the United States and Saudi Arabia were desperately trying to take control of the area.
Al-Asad said Yemen was prepared to confront any escalation by American, Israeli or other aggressors. He added that Yemen had numerous options for responding to aggressors. Most of the facilities and areas targeted by Saudi fighter jets in Yemen, including airports, bridges and communication networks, were civilian infrastructure, he said.
