Member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, confirmed on Saturday that with no intentions to end the aggression and the siege on Yemen, the battle will continue.
Al-Houthi said in an interview for Al Mayadeen that the coalition of aggression continues its violations, warning that nothing would affect the Yemenis' presence in the great battle and vowing to avenge the Yemeni people and Muslim Arab nation.
He saw that the violations of the coalition of aggression constitute the fuel meant to keep the fronts flared up and ongoing, adding that "criminality brings [the victim] a step closer to victory, so the more they [coalition of aggression] break their vows and violate agreements, the closer they are to defeat."
With regard to the recent truce under the current conditions, Al-Houthi stressed that "recent decisions are still being studied."
He warned, "If there is no real intent to end the aggression and lift the siege on Yemen, the battle will continue."
The member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen explained that the Council is no stranger to the coalition's weapons, stressing that the Yemeni armed forces have "weapons of deterrence that can determine the equation of deterrence and achieve victory soon."

Ansar Allah Movement leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi has lately said, “One of our priorities in light of the temporary truce is to maintain a high degree of readiness and attention to all the schemes of the enemies.”
Yemen's warring parties agreed to extend the truce, on August 2, for another two months just hours before it was due to expire, the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg stated.
It is noteworthy that the truce announced between the Saudi coalition and Yemen entered into force on April 2 and was extended on June 2.
At the time, the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, announced that "under this truce, all offensive military operations, by land, air, and sea, will cease."
He explained that the terms of the armistice agreement include facilitating the entry of 18 ships carrying fuel to the ports of Al-Hudaydah and allowing two flights to and from Sanaa airport every week.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi said, “We have always wanted and hoped for a direct battle with the Israeli enemy, and we see the war with the countries of the coalition of aggression as rehearsals in the course of the liberation of Al-Aqsa."
