Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces (Saba News Agency)
</li></div></ul>
<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces are prepared for direct military intervention
should certain \u201cred lines\u201d be crossed, stated Brigadier General Yahya
Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces.</p>
<p>In a strongly worded statement released on Friday, Saree warned of potential military operations in response to the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-aggression-on-iran-killed-935--including-38-children" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ongoing US and Israeli aggression</a> across West Asia, including against Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and Iraq.</p>
<p>He framed the Yemeni Armed Forces' position as part of a wider
regional struggle involving the Axis of Resistance, expressing
solidarity with Iran and Palestinian Resistance factions and condemning a
broader US-Israeli scheme to reshape West Asia and to establish
so-called "Greater Israel".</p>
<p>The top Yemeni official called for an immediate halt to the
US-Israeli aggression against several regional states, including Iran,
Palestine, <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-aggression-on-lebanon-kills-1-142-since-march-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lebanon</a>, and Iraq, and demanded an end to the blockade imposed on Yemen. It also urged the implementation of existing <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/gaza-health-ministry--2-killed--17-wounded-in-24-hours" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ceasefire arrangements in Gaza</a>, particularly those relating to humanitarian provisions.</p>
<p>In detail, the Yemeni Armed Forces, emphasizing their commitment to
regional stability and the cessation of aggression, affirmed the
following:</p>
<ul><li>The immediate and unconditional response of the United States and
"Israel" to ongoing international diplomatic efforts aimed at halting
aggression against Iran and the countries aligned with the Axis of
Resistance, considering it an unjust, oppressive, and unprovoked act of
aggression, one that undermines regional and global security and
stability, while also posing a serious threat to the global economy.</li><li>The immediate cessation of aggression against Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq, and an end to the unjust blockade on Yemen</li><li>The necessity of implementing the Gaza agreement and fulfilling the
obligations it stipulates, particularly regarding humanitarian
provisions and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people</li></ul>
<p>Saree warned that the Yemeni Armed Forces are prepared for direct
military intervention should the following three \u201cred lines\u201d be crossed,
including:</p>
<ul><li>The formation or participation of any additional alliances alongside
the United States and "Israel" in any aggression against the Islamic
Republic of Iran and the countries of the Axis of Resistance.</li><li>The use of the Red Sea as a platform for hostile military operations
by the United States and "Israel" directed against the Islamic Republic
of Iran or any other Muslim country.</li><li>The continued escalation of US-Israeli aggression against the
Islamic Republic of Iran and countries of the Axis of Resistance, in
line with developments on the battlefield and evolving operational
conditions.</li></ul>
<p>The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces also warned against
tightening the blockade on Yemen, saying such measures would be met with
a firm response.</p>
<p>He concluded by reiterating that the Yemeni Armed Forces conduct
their operations exclusively against US and Israeli targets, stressing
that neither Muslim-majority states nor civilian populations are
regarded as targets of their military activity.</p>
<h2>Yemen prepared for all scenarios, Sayyed al-Houthi warns adversaries</h2>
<p>In a similar vein, the leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah Resistance
movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, warned on Friday that the US and
"Israel" are working together on a "scheme under the title of reshaping
the Middle East and establishing the so-called Greater Israel,\u201d
emphasizing that such schemes target the entire region, including the
Arabian Peninsula.</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi affirmed that <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-prepared-for-all-scenarios--sayyed-al-houthi-warns-adv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yemen is not neutral</a>,
but stands with Islam and the Islamic nation within a rightful
position. He explained that Yemen\u2019s stance is part of Jihad in the path
of God against the Zionist project and the enemies of Muslims.</p>
<p>He affirmed that any developments requiring a military response will
be met with full readiness, as in previous rounds, stressing that
Yemen\u2019s position is clearly against the United States and "Israel",
without hostile intent toward any Muslim country.</p>
