The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the Israeli aggression on Yemen, describing it as a “terrorist attack” that led to the martyrdom of Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi in Sanaa
In a statement on Saturday, the ministry called for “serious action by the international community and Islamic countries to rein in this rogue entity.”
Mass demonstrations took place in Al-Sabaeen Square in Sanaaa, where Yemeni crowds raised Palestinian flags in solidarity with Palestine amid the war on Gaza.
'Israel' will pay the price; war has entered new phase: Al-Bukhaiti
Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Political Bureau of the Ansar Allah movement, stated that targeting the Yemeni government's meeting has "crossed red lines," emphasizing that the war has entered a new stage and that retaliation is inevitable.
"Our actions will precede our words," he promised.
In his remarks to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti stated that the liberation of Palestine is Ansar Allah's primary cause, a commitment reiterated in President Mahdi al-Mashat's speech, and emphasized that the Israeli occupation will never break the Yemeni people's will, vowing that the movement "will continue to support Gaza no matter the cost."
The political bureau member of the Ansar Allah movement also stated that his country is in a state of war and has launched numerous strikes against the enemy, clarifying that "receiving counterstrikes is to be expected."
He further explained that the movement "has succeeded in punishing Britain and the United States and will do the same to the Zionist enemy."
Regarding the Muslim Brotherhood's statement, al-Bukhaiti said the movement views it as positive but that it "does not represent the majority of the group's position," adding, "We do not want the Brotherhood's statement to be merely a rhetorical stance, and unfortunately, the position of Yemen's Islah party differs from that of the group's statement."
