If US insists on aggression, Yemen will respond accordingly: Official

On December 14, a member of the political bureau of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Ali Al-Qahoum, told Al Mayadeen that "the aggression and siege that has been going on for the past 8 years are clearly led and fully coordinated by America."

Al-Qahoum considered that "Saudi Arabia and the UAE are nothing but tools instrumented by the US to execute its policy of aggression with the blessing and participation of Israel, the UK and France."

The Yemeni official pointed out that "if the Americans insist on aggression and blockade, the response will be in a way that achieves the required effect and sufficient pressure on the aggressor, whoever it may be."

He also indicated that "the only guarantor for the return of the truce is that the demands of the people and their rights be respected, which will open the prospects for peace, and there is no way to achieve this by prevarication."
