------------------------------

Yemen's operations in support of Gaza and Palestine will not cease
regardless of the United States' threats of war and aggression, Mohammed
Ali al-Houthi says.

Yemen does not care about the United States or its allies in the region,
"because we have faced them for ten years," member of the Supreme Political
Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, said on Tuesday.

In an interview with *Al Mayadeen*, al-Houthi noted that the greater the
aggression on the region is, the more options Yemen has, confirming that a plan
for confrontation has been prepared

by the Ministry of Defense.

He further asserted that the Yemeni Defense Ministry "will do everything it
can within the operational scope it can reach," noting that "the Ministry
of Defense and our brave forces will not fear any movement."

Regarding the Yemeni Armed Forces' scope of operations, the Yemeni official
told *Al Mayadeen* they have reached the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian
Ocean, the Arabian and Red Seas, and areas like occupied Yafa [Tel Aviv
Metropolitan Area] and others.

"We have no ceiling or red lines as long as our people are being bombed,
and the Israeli genocide continues against the people of Gaza," he
emphasized.

He proposed a more suitable option for Yemen: the end of US support to the
Israeli enemy, which would end of "Israel's" genocidal war and operations
against the people of Gaza. However, as long as the aggression on Gaza
continues, the YAF's operations will continue without any care for any
movements, whether American or otherwise.

"America has been active for nine years, and this is the tenth year of
aggression against our country

in cooperation with Saudi and Emirati allies, and they have achieved
nothing," al-Houthi highlighted, noting that the threat of a major war is
nothing the Yemeni people have not experienced.

According to al-Houthi, "The weapons used to bomb us are American, and they
want to spread psychological warfare against the Yemeni people," but
confirmed that the Yemeni people will continue in their struggle against
the Israeli aggression on Gaza and in support of the Palestinian cause,
adding that whatever the US may do will not deter the Yemeni people

from their duty and mission.

Moreover, he strongly condemned the "barbaric, terrorist, and aggressive
airstrikes," affirming that "the Yemeni people will not stop responding to
them, and our battle will continue with all aggressors against our country."

*Al Mayadeen*’s correspondent confirmed that the raids targeted the
Ministry of Defense's headquarters in the al-Ardhi area in the capital's
center detailing how explosions were heard in the capital.

The attack comes after American and British forces struck several areas in
the Bahis area in Midi district, Hajjah Governorate, in western Yemen on
Monday

.

Another US-UK-led aggression targeted the country earlier on Sunday.
Strikes targeted the al-Tuhayta district in the southern part of the
Hodeidah province, located on Yemen’s Red Sea coast.

Our correspondent in Sanaa, citing local sources, reported that the
airstrike on al-Tuhayta did not cause any damage to military stockpiles.
