Mohammed Taher Anem, an adviser to Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, pointed to what he described as major strikes carried out by Sanaa forces against Saudi-backed forces and said Saudi Arabia’s inability to counter Yemen’s military attacks should prompt those serving Riyadh to leave its camps before it is too late.

Anem told Al-Masirah television that the Saudi enemy had nothing left to do and that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was afraid of Yemen and its advanced military capabilities.

He said the Saudi regime was receiving blow after blow — at sea, at its airports, at Aramco, at its equipment and among its soldiers and officers.

Anem said Saudi Arabia had become confused after suffering heavy strikes from Yemen and was seeking to blame Iraq by claiming that attacks against Saudi Arabia had been launched from Iraqi territory.

He said the Saudis were in fact seeking to deny the attacks by Yemen and prevent them from receiving media coverage.

The Sanaa official said Saudi media and its followers, who seek to conceal what is happening in Saudi Arabia, reflected what he described as cowardice and fear among the Saudi rulers.

He said Riyadh knew Yemen could target many sites inside Saudi Arabia, potentially destroying them and pushing the Saudi economy into a critical situation.

Turning to Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, Anem said the situation should serve as a warning and lesson for what he described as misguided Yemenis serving Riyadh.

He said they should understand that the Saudis were seeking to exploit them and fill their camps in Yemen with military personnel, Salafi takfiris and others fighting alongside Saudi forces.

Addressing those forces, he said: “Do you have no sense? Do you have no sense to see and think that bin Salman and the Saudi regime you support have been under attack from Yemen for more than two weeks?”

He said Saudi ships were being targeted at sea while Saudi Arabia remained silent and was unable to take action or retaliate.

He also said airports including Abha, Najran and Jizan had been targeted, along with Aramco facilities in Yanbu and Abqaiq, the East-West pipeline and infrastructure in Jizan.

Anem said the Saudis were being attacked while standing, sitting and lying down, but remained silent because of what he described as cowardice and fear of Yemen.

He said some people nevertheless continued to accept humiliation for 1,000 Saudi riyals or filled their minds with lies and false information circulated by the Saudi regime and its media about major victories and territorial gains.

He also condemned those who support “the Saudi regime’s alignment with the Zionists”, asking those who claim to be religious to consider “the regime’s corruption and actions in the region.”

Anem said Yemeni military operations targeting gatherings and assembly points of Saudi enemy forces were part of the ongoing war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

He said Yemen had made every effort after the ceasefire agreement to repel Saudi aggression through communication, negotiations and other means, but without success.

He said Yemen’s leadership and armed forces had therefore decided to begin implementing the equation of “blockade for blockade and aggression for aggression.”

Meanwhile, Mohammed al-Farah, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah movement, said there was no civil war in Yemen and there would not be one.

He said what was happening was a confrontation with Saudi occupiers and their domestic and foreign forces.

Al-Farah said Saudi Arabia had mobilized personnel of various nationalities, including Yemenis, as well as US security companies and Pakistani, British and American commanders, with the aim of imposing its control over Yemen.

He said Sanaa would not remain silent in the face of such actions.

Al-Farah warned that Sanaa would confront any Saudi action on Yemeni territory, regardless of the nationality of the proxy forces involved.

He said any violation of Yemen’s sovereignty by land, sea or air would face a decisive response deep inside Saudi Arabia and in sensitive areas.

The Yemeni official further said a single attack against Saudi Arabia could destroy what the country had sought to achieve in Yemen over the course of a century.

He said Riyadh’s continued escalation was evidence of the Saudi regime’s disregard for the interests and security of its own people.

Al-Farah said Sanaa would regard any action targeting Yemeni sovereignty as foreign escalation and would respond according to the nature and source of the violation.

He said Yemen would not accept the imposition of a new reality by force or through local and foreign proxy forces and mercenaries.
