DID Press: Mohammed Taher Anam, adviser to Yemen’s Supreme Political Council in Sanaa, said the country’s position regarding regional developments is carefully calculated, stressing that any decision by the Houthi movement (Ansarallah) to enter the battlefield will depend on the decisions and coordination of the “Axis of Resistance.” He added that there is full coordination regarding the timing and conditions of Yemen’s potential entry into the conflict.
According to Anam, Yemen will only enter the battle if the scope of the conflict expands and other countries — particularly Saudi Arabia — become involved, or if tensions escalate beyond the current level between Iran and the United States.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ministry of the Sanaa-based government described a recent statement by the Gulf Cooperation Council as biased and aligned with the narratives of the United States and Israel. Abdulwahid Abu Ras, acting foreign minister, said the statement ignored the fact that the United States had come from thousands of kilometers away and initiated the aggression.
He added that Iran’s attacks against U.S. and Israeli bases and interests represent a legitimate response to their actions, describing the support of Gulf states for those bases as “shameful.”
At the same time, Sanaa and several Yemeni provinces witnessed large demonstrations under the slogan “Alongside Iran and Lebanon, we revive the Day of Furqan.” Participants voiced support for any decision the Yemeni leadership may take in response to ongoing developments. A final statement from the rallies declared that “hands are on the trigger,” warning that escalation or military action could occur at any moment if necessary.
The statement described the current confrontation as “the battle of the Muslim nation against the Greater Israel project,” emphasizing that Yemenis are engaged in an open war with their enemies and that the timing of Yemen’s official entry into the regional conflict has been fully coordinated.
On the other hand, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the Israeli military is preparing for a dangerous scenario involving simultaneous missile attacks from Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis. The report warned that such a situation would pose a serious challenge to Israel’s defense systems. The newspaper also predicted that the Houthis may soon enter the conflict and target the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, potentially expanding the confrontation into the Persian Gulf.
