<p>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.</p>
<p>In an interview with <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>, al-Houthi noted that the greater the aggression on the region is, the more options Yemen has, confirming that a <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sinwar-to-sayyed-al-houthi--we-stand-arm-in-arm-in-aqsa-floo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plan for confrontation has been prepared</a> by the Ministry of Defense.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>Regarding the Yemeni Armed Forces' scope of operations, the Yemeni official told <strong>Al Mayadeen</strong> they have reached the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian and Red Seas, and <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-launches-palestine-2-hypersonic-missile-at--israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">areas like occupied Yafa [Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area] and others.</a>
"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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>"America has been active for nine years, and this is the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-uk-aggression-on-yemen-s-al-tuhayta-district--south-of-ho" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenth year of aggression against our country</a>
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. </p>
<p>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 <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-defenses-took-30-mins-to-intercept-drone-from-yemen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">will not deter the Yemeni people</a> from their duty and mission.</p>
<p>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."</p>
<h2>Yemen: US-UK aggression targets Defense Ministry HQ in Sanaa</h2>
<p>American and British forces launched raids on Tuesday morning <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen--us-uk-aggression-targets-defense-ministry-hq-in-sanaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">targeting the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.</a></p>
<p><strong>Al Mayadeen</strong>’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.</p>
<p>The attack comes after American and British forces struck several areas in the Bahis area in Midi district, Hajjah Governorate, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-uk-aggression-on-yemen-ensues--strikes-target-bahis-area" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in western Yemen on Monday</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our correspondent in Sanaa, citing local sources, reported that the
airstrike on al-Tuhayta did not cause any damage to military stockpiles.</p>
