A senior Yemeni source, Abdul Malik Issa, confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Yemen will not end its military operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea "until aid is delivered to Gaza, and the enemy must realize this without resorting to heated statements."
Issa stressed that "the American enemy is the one militarizing the Red Sea," where "ship traffic is safe, except Israeli enemy ships."
He pointed out that "Yemen is an independent country in its decisions," and will not accept any violations as they will be confronted with force. "The Zionist lobby must realize this," he continued.
Issa detailed to Al Mayadeen that "If the military aggression against Yemen has no effect, then the psychological warfare will also not affect the Yemeni people, who are unanimous in their decisions."
Responding to US attacks and threats, the Yemeni source revealed that the continued blockade of Gaza will "push Yemen to adopt new military options." The continued US aggression will also push Yemen to adopt "painful options that have not yet begun," and the American people must "know that Trump is leading their economy into the abyss."
He pointed out that the military operations targeting the USS Harry Truman were merely an initial response, and they would continue more difficult manner for the enemy.
Issa concluded his statement to Al Mayadeen by noting that Yemen has a "long history of taming enemies," detailing how they do not operate based on excess power, but rather a "moral compass the US and Zionist lobby lack."
Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi denounced the latest US airstrikes on Yemen, describing them as a "brutal and unjust aggression" aimed at "supporting the Israeli enemy."
In a televised speech on Sunday evening, Sayyed al-Houthi stated, "The American enemy has launched a new attack on our country. This is a blatant and oppressive act of aggression, and its primary goal is to provide direct support to the Zionist regime."
The aggression against Yemen follows the Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement of the resumption of military action against all Israeli-linked vessels in a designated zone in the bodies of water surrounding Yemen.
