Yemen’s Firm Stance Against the Zionist Occupation: From Supporting Gaza to Backing Iran and Confronting U.S. Intervention
Since the launch of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation in October 2023, the Republic of Yemen—guided by its aware population and steadfast armed forces—has emerged as a cornerstone of the Resistance Axis, standing firmly with the Palestinian cause and taking a principled position against the Zionist-American project in the region. Yemen’s stance has not been limited to political statements; it has escalated into direct military operations that disrupted the enemy’s calculations and positioned Yemen as an influential and active player in the open confrontation with the Israeli entity.
Yemen Responds to Aggression: A Historic Military Declaration
Today, as the Zionist aggression escalates and expands to target the Islamic Republic of Iran, Yemen’s Armed Forces issued a historic statement declaring that they will not remain idle in the event of direct U.S. support for the Zionist enemy against Iran. The statement affirmed that U.S. warships in the Red Sea will become legitimate targets if such aggression occurs.
Yemen’s Support for Gaza: From Solidarity to Active Military Engagement
From the very first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Sana’a’s stance was clear and unwavering. This was reflected in speeches by the political and military leadership, particularly those of Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, reaffirming Yemen’s commitment to supporting the oppressed and its readiness to sacrifice for the Palestinian people.
On the battlefield, the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out more than 130 naval and aerial military operations, according to media reports, targeting Israeli-linked ships. These included coordinated attacks using drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles aimed at the ports of Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash), Jaffa, and strategic sites within the occupied territories—effectively breaking the geographic blockade imposed by the enemy for the first time.
Despite direct strikes from the U.S., the UK, and Israel in response, Yemen remained resolute, escalating its military response in line with its strategic promises and commitments.
A Multi-Faceted War: Yemen as a Target of the Zionist-American Project
The attacks on Yemen—whether through U.S. and British airstrikes or economic and media conspiracies—cannot be separated from the broader Zionist project aimed at reshaping the so-called “New Middle East.” As stated in the military’s statement, Yemen represents a disruptive model for hegemonic powers: a revolutionary example that embraces resistance, rejects normalization, and chooses confrontation.
Significantly, yesterday’s statement framed the Israeli aggression on Iran as part of the same continuum of attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen itself—indicating Yemen’s clear recognition that this is one unified battle, regardless of the differing battlefields and tactics.
Yemeni Military Statement Redefines the Rules of Engagement
The Yemeni Armed Forces’ recent statement goes beyond symbolic solidarity with Iran; it marks a strategic shift in regional rules of engagement. Should the U.S. support Israeli aggression on Iran, Yemen will launch attacks on U.S. warships in the Red Sea.
This equation places Washington directly in Yemen’s line of fire, reinforcing the idea that any aggression against allies in the Resistance Axis is considered a direct attack on Yemen, warranting immediate retaliation.
The Spiritual and Political Foundations of Yemen’s Position
Yemen’s position is rooted in a Qur’anic and ideological doctrine, based on a religious understanding of the Ummah’s cause. This is reflected in the use of Quranic verses in the military statement, linking the battle to a defense of freedom, dignity, sovereignty, and the sanctity of Islamic holy sites. It reveals a deep, unwavering commitment—not a passing stance.
This is part of a strategic vision that sees the liberation of Palestine as impossible without dismantling the entire Zionist-American project, and views the defense of Resistance Axis nations—especially Iran—as critical to preserving the regional balance of deterrence and ensuring the continuity of the struggle until the occupation is eradicated.
Yemen: The Heart of the Resistance Front — One Battle, One Destiny
Yemen’s leadership, army, and people have proven themselves to be a vital part of the comprehensive Resistance Front against the Zionist occupation and the American project in the region. Yesterday’s statement does not merely draw red lines—it outlines a new regional deterrence equation and signals the rise of a Resistance alliance capable of confronting the U.S.-Zionist Axis of Evil.
Just as Yemen stood resolutely with Gaza and launched a strategic campaign from the Red Sea, it now declares that any attack on Iran will not go unanswered. This presents unprecedented challenges to both the U.S. and the Zionist entity and opens the door to a new phase of confrontation—one defined by:
United Front, United Blood, United Destiny.
