The Foreign Ministry stated that the suspension of operations by certain shipping companies in the Red Sea was the result of pressures and exaggerations exerted by US propaganda.

The Yemeni Foreign Ministry on Tuesday called on maritime shipping companies to pursue their operations in the Red Sea "as long as they are not heading to the Zionist enemy."

The ministry said in a statement that operations targeting ships in the Red Sea are solely "limited to ships owned by the Israeli enemy or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine."

In a post on social media platform X, the head of the Sanaa negotiating delegation Mohammed Abdulsalam stated that the suspension of operations by certain shipping companies in the Red Sea was the result of pressures and exaggerations exerted by US propaganda. 

"What several shipping companies declare by suspending their operations, citing increased risks in the Red Sea, is a result of American pressures and exaggerations. It is an inaccurate stance that aligns only with the biased American propaganda," Abdulsalam wrote.

He also pointed out the daily passage of hundreds of ships through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, reminding that "there is no prohibition for any ship except those associated with the criminal Zionist enemy or those heading to its ports in occupied Palestine."

"Hundreds of ships continue to pass through the Bab el-Mandeb strait daily. We reaffirm that there is no restriction on any ship except those associated with the criminal Zionist enemy or those heading to its ports in the occupied Palestine," Abdulsalam further said in his post.

Over the past week, the US and the UK have been engaged in a series of aggressions targeting Yemeni positions along the Yemeni coastline.

The purpose of this is to force the re-opening of maritime transit in the Red Sea for Israeli-linked ships which have been blocked in recent months as a result of Yemeni operations.

In November, the Yemeni resistance announced its decision to target all Israeli-linked commercial and military ships transiting the Red Sea. 

They vowed to continue to do so until the genocide on the people of Gaza comes to a complete halt.
