Defense minister: Next period open to wide developments

The next will be more painful, surpassing all the anticipations in naval confrontations, Sana'a defense minister said on Tuesday in a new warning for the Americans and Brits. The evil trio - America, Britain and Israel - need to understand well the speech of Leader Abdulmalek al-Houthi and take it seriously, as his words are acts to be done without delay, General Mohamed al-Atifi added at meeting with morale guidance officers in Hodeida brigades. All the divisions of "the Yemeni armed forces are fully prepared to implement immediate and phased political duties they are tasked with, and are able to surprise enemies of Uma, religion and humanity with painful strikes according to requirements, bases and new equations, at top of which the Yemeni full right to sovereignty over Red and Arab Seas." The US-UK criminal aggression on Yemen comes in reprisal to the stance adopted by Yemeni and its armed forces in support of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance in Gaza, Atifi said. If Washington and Lond on think they are concerned to guard Zionist brutality, "we've - based on religion and human and moral values - to stand up with our brethren in Palestine, who are subject to genocide before the very eye of a dumb, colluding international community. "We'll lie in wait for every Zionist, American or British vessel trying to violate the ban we imposed on these ship's traffic in the Red and Arab seas, until they quit their brutality," he warned. The shortest solution is through Zionist halt of crimes against the sieged people in Gaza and other Palestinian territories, the minister argued. Source: Yemen News Agency
