  • Any US approach to Yemeni waters could lead to long-term war: Sanaa
    In this Wednesday, April 15, 2015 image released by U.S. Navy Media Content Services, an F/A-18E Super Hornet, assigned to the Knighthawks of Strike Fighter Attack Squadron 136, lands on the flight deck aboard Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Fifth Fleet area of operations (Mass Communication Specialist Seaman Anna Van Nuys/U.S. Navy Media Content Services via AP)

The deputy foreign minister in the Sanaa government, Hussein Al-Ezzi, warned that any approach of US forces from Yemen's territorial waters "may mean the beginning of the longest and most costly battle in human history."

On his account on the X platform, Al-Ezzi pointed out that in order to preserve the safety of navigation in the Red Sea, US forces should avoid Yemen's territorial waters, because any approach (just a mere approach) "may mean the beginning of the longest and most costly battle in human history."

This came after the US Navy announced on Monday that more than 3,000 US military personnel arrived in the Red Sea aboard two warships.

In a statement, the US Navy's Fifth Fleet confirmed that the US sailors and Marines entered the Red Sea on Sunday after transiting through the Suez Canal in a pre-announced deployment.

They arrived on board the USS Bataan and USS Carter Hall warships, providing "greater flexibility and maritime capability" to the Fifth Fleet, the statement added.

In a related context, the expert in military and political affairs, Abd Al-Ghani Al-Zubaidi, confirmed to Al Mayadeen that the new missiles of the Yemeni forces are ready to strike targets, whether in the sea or the occupied Yemeni islands.

He added, "What bothers the Americans is that Yemen has emerged from the Saudi and American diktats that used to control it, and today there is a Yemeni leadership and will."

In late July, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, told Al Mayadeen that "America is working to intensify its presence in the Red Sea to protect Saudi Arabia," confirming that the more "the enemies are present on any battlefield, the easier a prey they will be for us."

Al-Houthi underlined that "any foreign-instigated act will be faced by the Yemeni people, and this is what will happen with regard to the secession [plot] in the south."
