Houthi Leader Accuses Washington of Blocking Agreement with Saudi Arabia
Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi accused the US administration on Thursday of preventing the reaching of an agreement with Saudi Arabia, which leads the Arab coalition in Yemen.
In a televised speech, al-Houthi said that the US side “is constantly pressuring the political level and has prevented an agreement to stop the aggression with the Saudi side. The Americans also continue to exert economic pressure, even at the level of what the United Nations and organizations provide, and they have never been able to influence our position.”
Al-Houthi pointed out that “the Americans are trying to pressure us to stop the operations carried out by our group in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, and they have used many means and brought aircraft carriers to intimidate other countries, but the aircraft carrier Eisenhower fled the Red Sea and then the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln fled the Arabian Sea, and another third aircraft carrier came and left.”
He added that the US aircraft carriers have been removed from the equation of pressuring Yemen. Al-Houthi pointed out that the US and British enemies carried out 844 air strikes and naval bombardments without any avail and without any impact on the position and direction of his group.
He said that there is “complete control in preventing Israeli navigation from the Red Sea, and during this period there has been no movement of Israeli navigation, and during these past days there has been no movement through ships that even belong to other countries but carry cargo for the Israeli enemy.”
Al-Houthi pointed out that the Israeli occupation “has become desperate, and therefore completely changed the course of its navigation, and there is an economic cost to the enemy as a result of the very strong work of the Yemeni front in preventing Israeli maritime navigation from Bab el-Mandeb strait.”
He added, “If it weren’t for the Arab supply – and unfortunately – and the Arab land bridge that supplies the Israeli enemy with goods, the cost to the Israeli enemy would have been much greater.”
