'US forces in Red Sea are having no rest'
The operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue as long as the Israeli occupation entity continues its war and siege on Gaza, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, told Al Mayadeen on Friday.
Speaking with the news channel from the resting place of the founder of Ansar Allah, martyr Sayyed Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi, in Saada Governorate, the Yemeni official said that the people of Yemen are not intimated by the United States nor fear its threats of war.
"They used to [question] the martyred [founding] leader: 'How will you face America when it has missiles?'" he recalled. "We say to them today, here are our missiles terrifying the Americans."
Al-Houthi noted that the US forces in the Red Sea are under persistent Yemeni pressure and "are having no rest .. and the American aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower is planned to return to the US." The Yemeni official expressed confidence that "God willing, the remaining [US] battleships and frigates will also be compelled to retreat and head back home."
"The Americans are aware of the sincerity of our fighters' presence and actions on all fronts, and they know that the Yemeni people have disregarded their threats," the Supreme Council member said. "Their terrorism, statements, media, political, and intelligence wars do not intimidate us."
