New War Update

Strong warning from the Yemeni government about the consequences of US aggression against Iran

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sanaa government, supported by Yemen’s Ansar Allah, issued an official statement early Thursday strongly warning against the continuation of US military attacks and aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, describing these actions as a direct threat to international peace and security.

The diplomatic body of the Sanaa government emphasized in this statement that the continuation of US aggression on Iranian soil will push the entire region towards a widespread and comprehensive war, which will have very dangerous consequences for the region and the world.

The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs further pointed to the economic dimensions of these tensions, explaining that the continuation of hostile US behaviors will have serious and destructive effects on supply, international trade, and oil and energy markets, endangering the stability of the global economy.
