The Minister of Defense in the Sanaa government, Mohammed Al-Atifi, affirmed today, that Yemen's stance regarding the Red Sea is steadfast.
He emphasized that the Yemeni armed forces are on high readiness and are fully prepared to deal with all possible scenarios.
Addressing the naval coalition aimed at protecting Israeli occupation ships and Israeli occupation-bound ships, Al-Atifi warned them that stating that Yemen will morph the nautical geography of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, and Bab el Mandeb, into a curse for the aggressor
The Minister of Defense pointed out that Yemen is committed to the safety of international navigation and respects international agreements. He noted that all ships are safe except Israeli-affiliated or "Israel"-bound ships: those ships identified to be as such by the Yemeni Armed Forces will not be safe until the people of Gaza are safe from Israeli aggression.
Al-Atifi emphasized that the Yemeni armed forces' ballistic missiles have a far-reaching range; further than the enemy expects, confirming that there are "no red lines" for them.
He concluded by saying that the Yemeni people, despite the dire challenges that they face, have chosen to be steadfast supporters of the besieged people of Gaza against Israeli occupation.

KSA to acquit itself from US coalition, eyes peace with Yemen: NYT
Earlier today, a report published by the New York Times explained that Saudi Arabia will opt for neutrality regarding US warmongering against Yemen.
Saudi Arabia prefers to observe developments from the sidelines, as the United States rushes to take action through a naval coalition, aimed at thwarting the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea, The New York Times reported.
Riyadh aims to prioritize the potential for peace along its southern border with Yemen, over engaging in a potential US-led aggression in the region.

That is the take offered by the Gulf bureau chief for NYT, Vivian Nereim, who argued that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is reportedly uninterested in being drawn back into a wide conflict with Yemen, as indicated by Saudi and American officials.
"To have a stable region, you need economic development in the whole region," MBS stated during a television interview in September — just before the commencement of Israeli aggression on Gaza — when Saudi officials received Sanaa's national delegation in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. "You don’t need to see problems in Yemen."
MBS seeks exit from Yemen
While MBS attempts to forward a so-called comprehensive plan to reform Saudi Arabia into a "global business hub by 2030", Riyadh has concentrated efforts to reestablish diplomatic relations with entities that it had shunned as adversaries.
According to Saudi officials and analysts, the resurgence of Yemeni missile attacks on Saudi Arabia's most prized assets or bombardment on positions in southern Saudi towns, a relatively frequent event during the peak of the war on Yemen, is the least desirable future route for MBS.
This is particularly true as his government aims to persuade tourists and investors of Saudi Arabia's readiness to conduct business.
