Sanaa is preparing for a new round of escalation if the Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said on Thursday.

Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the naval operations carried out by the Yemeni armed forces are "complex, important and based on advanced capabilities," noting that the economic losses of the United States and the UK will multiply after they are faced with the Indian Ocean dilemma.

Sayyed al-Houthi added that Washington and London are looking for alternative routes and view this dilemma as a "very big issue."

"The enemies are stunned by the important and influential development of our operations in the Indian Ocean, and they have become very anxious as they were followed by strikes after retreating from the Red Sea to the Route of Good Hope," Sayyed al-Houthi said.

In the same context, the Ansarullah leader noted the withdrawal of 10 US warships and 8 European warships from the Red Sea, attributing this to a sense of failure to prevent or limit the operations of the Yemeni armed forces.

Sayyed al-Houthi also emphasized that Washington has failed to prevent the armed forces from achieving casualties in their targets, despite its efforts to prevent the launch of missiles and drones, and conducting extensive monitoring.

The Ansar Allah leader also added that there is a clear impact of the Yemeni support front's operations in Umm al-Rashrash, in southern occupied Palestine.

Yemeni Armed Forces Operations

In his speech, the leader of Ansar Allah announced the outcome of the operations carried out by the Yemeni armed forces during the week, which amounted to 8 operations in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, all the way to the Indian Ocean and southern occupied Palestine.

Sayyed al-Houthi explained that these operations were carried out using 33 ballistic and winged missiles and drones.

The leader then added that the armed forces targeted six ships associated with the Israeli occupation, the US and the UK, bringing the total number of ships targeted to 107, he said.

Sayyed al-Houthi also referred to the downing of an armed US MQ9 reconnaissance aircraft in the airspace of Saada, noting that this is the third operation during this period.

Since the start of Operation al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 156 operations have been carried out across the seas and against the Israeli occupation in southern occupied Palestine, according to the Ansar Allah commander.

So far, the operations against naval vessels were carried out with 606 ballistic and winged missiles and drones, while Israeli occupation targets in the occupied territories of Palestine were hit with 111 ballistic and winged missiles and drones.

As for the US-UK attacks on Yemen, they amounted to 452, between air strikes and naval bombardments, resulting in 40 martyrs and 35 wounded as part of what Ansar Allah labeled the "battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad."

US students: an awakening

In his speech, Sayyed al-Houthi also touched on the protests taking place across dozens of universities in the United States, stressing that there is an awakening of conscience across the student community, even though Washington opposes the ceasefire in Gaza and wants to continue the genocide against its people.

Sayyed al-Houthi noted that the pro-"Israel" entities and organizations "went crazy" in the face of the peaceful student protests, which "exposed the US authorities and exposed the falsity of their slogans.|

The Ansar Allah leader also likened the arrests and intimidation carried out by the US police against students and protesters to an "attack by thugs."

Sayyed al-Houthi denounced the silence in most Arab countries, stressing that it is "shameful and never in line with the nature of belonging to Islam or humanitarian responsibility."

Floating dock: a US strategy

Regarding the floating pier that the United States is building off the coast of the Gaza Strip, Sayyed al-Houthi explained that Washington seeks to secure a military presence for itself and Britain through it.

Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the United States wants to control the aid provided to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip through the floating dock, adding that it has ambitions vis-a-vis the resources found there.

The leader then added that the US "recognizes that stopping the aggression and siege on Gaza will extinguish other fires in the region," noting this is the right solution is to restore stability to the region in general.

Million-man marches continue across Yemen

Al-Houthi also stressed that the success of the negotiations and reaching a ceasefire "does not mean the end of the conflict with the occupation, but rather the end of a round," stressing that "our people's stand with the Palestinian people will continue in this round, and qualify for the next rounds with what is greater and greater."

The Ansar Allah leader also called on the Yemeni people to go out on Friday in the capital Sanaa as well as other provinces, explaining that these marches "will warn the Americans against continuing the intransigence and continuing the aggression and siege on the Palestinian people in Gaza."

Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that this million-strong turnout "will confirm and announce the preparation for the fourth round of escalation."
