A high-ranking member of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has issued a stern warning to the United States, stating that any escalation of tensions in Yemen will result in the US “opening the gates of hell” on itself.
According to Abdulrahman al-Ahnoumi, the Acting Director of the Yemeni General Corporation for Radio and Television, the US embassy in Aden has “lined up its mercenaries for war against the Yemeni people,” with the aim of stopping operations supporting Palestinians in Gaza.
“We will target whatever American interests and bases we can, even if they are located somewhere in Africa and the Persian Gulf. Yemen has long made all the necessary preparations for such a purpose,” Ahnoumi said in a post published on his X account.
The Ansarullah official emphasized that just as the US previously paid a heavy price for turning its ships and vessels into “legitimate targets” for the Yemeni Armed Forces due to acts of aggression, it will have to bear a considerable cost if tensions heighten further.
Ahnoumi’s warning comes as the US and Britain conducted a joint airstrike on targets in Yemen’s northern province of Hajjah, amid the Arab country’s ongoing maritime operations against vessels linked to ‘Israel’ in the Red Sea. Details on potential casualties or damage from the strikes have not been disclosed.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have also targeted locations in the strategic western province of Hudaydah, as the country continues to voice its support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation. So far, the Israeli regime has killed at least 43,603 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 102,929 others in Gaza.
