Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement
The success of the September 21 Revolution is a genuine accomplishment for the Yemeni people in every sense of the word, indicated Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, on the 10th anniversary of the achievement, extending his congratulations to the Yemeni people.
In a speech on the occasion, Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that the Revolution was a decision driven solely by the will of the Yemeni people, adding that every action and stance taken within the framework of this Revolution was purely Yemeni, away from any external influence or interference.
He highlighted that over the past 10 years, and despite the obstacles, the Yemeni people have preserved this achievement, confronting and overcoming numerous challenges, while achieving major accomplishments.
"Our dear people achieved a monumental goal through the September 21 Revolution; freedom and independence," the Yemeni leader stressed, adding that the forces opposed to the Revolution, spearheaded by the United States and "Israel", are the biggest losers, as they have lost direct control over the country.
"The US is the primary side affected by this Revolution, considering its imperial ambitions to dominate the country and exploit its resources," Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out.
He accused the US, "Israel", and their allies of waging a "comprehensive aggression" against Yemen for all these past years, with the perpetrators committing the "most heinous crimes" and imposing a complete blockade on the Yemeni people.
Through this aggression, the US has sought to reclaim control of Yemen using its agents, adding that the aggressors had no other objective but to occupy and control the country while stripping its people of their freedom and independence, the Ansar Allah leader indicated.
However, according to Sayyed al-Houthi, the enemies have failed to reclaim control over the nation, as the Yemeni people have consecrated this achievement and its strategic depth.
He underlined that the September 21 Revolution remains firmly rooted, regardless of the size of the conspiracies, wars, and targeting it has faced, affirming that every action taken by the enemies against the Revolution has failed.
Before the Revolution, the US ambassador in Yemen had the greatest influence in all official institutions, serving as the primary decision-maker, and when he finally lost control, he fled the country, along with the Marines stationed in Sanaa, the Ansar Allah leader recalled.
"Our people are not subject to the will of the US, "Israel", or their agents, and enjoy freedom, independence, dignity, and honor," Sayyed al-Houthi made it clear.
On supporting the Palestinian people
In the same context, Sayyed al-Houthi said that the Yemeni people's stance remains unwavering and resolute, standing in strong solidarity with the Palestinian people despite all the challenges, risks, and conspiracies.
He explained that despite the horrific crimes and severe blockade imposed by the coalition of aggression, the Yemeni people have never wavered in their commitment to the Palestinian cause, highlighting that the weekly million-man gatherings continue almost without interruption.
He confirmed that the weekly mass demonstrations will also persist, along with the ongoing activities marking the 10th anniversary of the September 21 Revolution.
The Yemeni people have not abandoned their stance on Palestine, nor have they been affected by economic or humanitarian pressures, he said, adding that the declared and aggressive war against them was launched in support of "Israel".
Unlike others, the Yemeni people have not stood idly by while "Israel" commits genocide against the Palestinian people, Sayyed al-Houthi indicated, noting that had US control over the country continued, normalization with "Israel" would have become the dominant official policy.
According to the Yemeni leader, nearly half a million trainees are currently engaged in the mobilization training program, with hundreds of thousands more having previously received military training as part of the organized forces.
Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that last week's missile attack on occupied Yafa was a major and impactful operation that shook "Israel" to the core. He said that the missile strike penetrated all of "Israel’s" defense systems, marking a major achievement in line with the requirements of the fifth phase of the Yemeni operations in support of Gaza.
The Ansar Allah leader vowed that such attacks will be repeated and continuous, and "we aim, as we said, for what is greater."
Elsewhere, regarding the recent downing of the American MQ-9 reconnaissance drone, Sayyed al-Houthi described the operation as a major achievement in the context of the confrontation with the enemies.

Yemen possesses highly advanced arsenal
Touching on Yemen's military capabilities, the Yemeni leader emphasized that the country possesses a highly advanced arsenal, unmatched by many nations, with its missile capabilities being a key symbol of this development and effectiveness.
According to Sayyed al-Houthi, Yemen is at an advanced level in terms of drone technology, naval power, and the formation and development of ground forces, producing the necessary requirements.
He explained that without building and developing military and security capabilities to deter the enemy, no other achievements can be safeguarded, adding that building military and security capacities is to protect any gains and any economic structure and, above all, to protect the country from occupation.
Sayyed al-Houthi noted that the US had sought to maintain control over Yemen's military capabilities, aiming to keep them within limited bounds, ensuring no threat or obstacle to its dominance.
On Hezbollah's support front, Israeli attacks on Lebanon
Regarding the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the Ansar Allah leader pointed out that "Israel's" crimes there were with an intent to target civilians on a large scale and perpetrate acts of genocide against thousands of Lebanese people.
He indicated that "Israel’s" booby-trapping of devices was aimed at "maximizing casualties with all impudence, boldness, and aggressive intent."
Sayyed al-Houthi said the aggressive approach of the brutal and savage Israeli enemy proves every day and with every crime that it is an enemy with whom there is no solution except to get rid of it.
"Israel" remains a serious threat to human societies at large, and action must be taken to confront this enemy, he said.
Failure to do so endangers everyone, according to the Yemeni leader, given the level of violence, aggression, and criminality displayed.
He described "Israel's" targeting of Hezbollah commanders and fighters, along with civilians, as an "escalatory step and a criminal and brutal aggression."
According to Sayyed al-Houthi, Hezbollah and the Lebanese front's role in supporting the Palestinian people and their Resistance fighters in Gaza is great, important, and impactful.
He explained that the enemy could not ignore the role and influence of the Hezbollah front, which is dealing blows to "Israel" every day in the north of occupied Palestine.
The Yemeni leader highlighted that Hezbollah’s operations have contributed to the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of settlers from settlements in northern Palestine.
Hezbollah remains steadfast in its support for the Palestinian people, the Gaza Strip, and the Resistance fighters there, Sayyed al-Houthi indicated, stressing that no matter the scale of Israeli aggression, it will not deter Hezbollah and will not force it to back down.
He mentioned that the steadfastness of Hezbollah's position is explicit in the speeches of its Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The Yemeni leader recalled that, historically, "Israel" has only been forced out of Lebanese territories it occupied through Jihad and resistance, affirming that Hezbollah's pivotal and influential role will bear fruit despite Israeli aggression.
Sayyed al-Houthi vowed that despite "Israel's" crimes and its ruthless tactics, it will not achieve its objectives—whether in Palestine, Lebanon, or elsewhere.
He affirmed that the battles fought by Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other factions are unified in their resistance against a common enemy, "Israel" and its allies.
According to the Ansar Allah leader, what the Resistance fighters in Lebanon, Palestine, and elsewhere in the Ummah believe in is the inevitability of the demise of the Israeli enemy and that it is a temporary entity.
