Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the head of Ansar Allah, stated that the US has failed to diminish their military strength in a speech delivered on Thursday.
The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, affirmed that "the Americans have not been able, and will never be able, to weaken our military capabilities," asserting that "the American aggression only contributes to further developing them more and more."
Abdul Malik al-Houthi further asserted that the US cannot undermine Yemen’s military stability, as it is built on unshakable ideological foundations and deeply entrenched resilience, while also condemning America’s intensified efforts to exert pressure on Yemen both politically and publicly, which he claimed was the motive behind their latest aggressive campaign targeting civilian infrastructure in the country.
He emphasized that "the Yemeni stance has an economic, security, military, and strategic impact on the Israeli enemy, and this is a very concerning situation for the enemies."
Support Front to Continue
Ansar Allah's leader affirmed that "The Battle of the Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad" is an active front and will remain so with escalating influence, affirming that "the American aggression is a failure and will remain a failure."
He pointed out that "the military operations are strong and effective, with complete success in blocking Israeli navigation," adding, "The port of Eilat remains deserted, and the Israeli enemy can no longer benefit from it—this is a great victory for the effectiveness of Yemen's stance."
Sayyed Abdul Malik stressed that the Palestinian people are enduring grave injustice manifested through killings, starvation, and multi-faceted suffering, emphasizing that the scale of tragedy in Gaza significantly increases everyone's shared responsibility to act.
'Israel' is acting to eliminate the Palestinian Cause
Sayyed Al-Houthi cautioned that Israel's successful displacement of Gazans could trigger a domino effect, enabling the eventual forced removal of Palestinians from the West Bank as well, noting that these West Bank expulsions are already unfolding through calculated, step-by-step measures.
The Yemeni leader noted that the occupation forces are continuously working to eliminate the Palestinian cause in all its dimensions, while stressing that "the United States openly supports the project of displacing Palestinians, with US President Donald Trump reviving this proposal just this week."
He praised the heroic operations carried out by the resistance fighters in Palestine—both in Gaza and the West Bank—in confronting the occupation, emphasizing that their actions "represent the necessary and correct stance, the only option to preserve their rights."
Sayyed Abdulmalik noted that despite the very difficult conditions the Palestinians are facing, Palestinian Resistance fighters continue to conduct rocket barrage operations that reflect their steadfastness and belief in the justice of their cause.
Sayyed al-Houthi also stated that "the issue of detainees is one of the fundamental causes for the Palestinian people, and it cannot be compromised in any way, especially as thousands of prisoners endure harsh conditions in the occupation’s jails," clarifying that "the Israelis are attempting to wrest the captives’ card from Hamas, even as their aggression continues."
A single battle directed at the whole nation
Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi pointed out that both the Americans and Israelis are waging a unified campaign targeting not just the Palestinian people but also the Lebanese and Syrian populations - essentially attacking the entire Arab nation - while emphasizing that Washington openly embraces and supports every one of Israel's criminal actions.
Sayyed Al-Houthi stressed that surrender would serve neither the Palestinian people nor neighboring populations, nor the Arab world as a whole, insisting that the only viable path forward remains armed resistance against the Israeli occupation and its backers, particularly the United States as its primary supporter.
He noted that "the Israeli occupation is violating its agreement with Lebanon, carrying out raids in various areas, and assassinating resistance fighters from Hamas and Hezbollah," pointing out that the occupation "isn't addressing specific issues or concerns in Lebanon but rather conducting blatant attacks."
In the context of Syria, the Yemeni leader highlighted that "Israel's ongoing crimes in Syria prove to our entire nation its aggressive nature, acting solely according to its ambitions and schemes," adding that "it seeks to exploit Syria to achieve its ultimate goal of reaching the Euphrates River."
He added that "the Israeli enemy is violating Syrian airspace at will and, through its complete breach of Syrian sovereignty, has begun encroaching on Iraq's airspace as well," noting that "it will repeat these violations over Iraq and then expand the scope of its operations."
Trump's foolish policies
Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi addressed US President Donald Trump’s recent economic policies, calling them as disorganized as the prevailing global chaos, labeling them foolish and born of unchecked greed.
He went on to note that "Trump has opened a trade war against over 60 countries, foremost among them nations allied with the United States," adding that "his decisions are so erratic they’ve even significantly impacted the US economy itself, throwing it into turmoil."
