Sana'a - Saba:
President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat on Saturday stressed that the unjustified US-British aggression on Yemen has proven over the course of a year the failure of the US, Britain and Israel, and witnessed unprecedented events in the history of wars in the face of American arrogance, from which the peoples of the world have tasted the woes for decades.
President al-Mashat explained in his speech this evening on the anniversary of the US-British aggression that the direct aggression launched by the American and British enemy, along with the Zionist enemy, on Yemen on January 12, 2024 aims to support the criminal Israeli enemy and help it continue its crimes of genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip in a manner that the world has never witnessed before.
He stated that the Yemeni people and their armed forces succeeded in implementing the decision to completely ban the navigation of ships associated with the criminal Israeli enemy, despite the difficulty and ferocity of the battle.
"Our armed forces, with all their formations, were able to export legendary epics that removed the crown jewel of American weapons, "aircraft carriers", from military effectiveness, according to the testimony of the enemy and all the world's experts", he said, adding "these carriers became a burden in the range of our armed forces' fire, to the point that the Americans began to hide them here and there for fear of targeting them."
He pointed out that the Yemeni armed forces introduced new systems, most notably the "Palestine 2" hypersonic missiles and the Jaffa aircraft, which were able to penetrate all the most modern air defense systems in the world and successfully hit their targets, documented by Israeli camera lenses, and acknowledged by the senior leaders and criminals of this entity.
The President indicated that launching Yemeni hypersonic missiles, Yemen has today become one of the most advanced countries in the missile field, as only a limited number of countries in the world possess this technology.
He said, "As for our air defense systems, the armed forces, thanks to God, were able to neutralize the latest American spy planes, "MQ-9", and shot down 14 of them in one year, which is an unprecedented record."
His Excellency the President stated that our armed forces were able, in the intelligence and operational aspect, to "preempt and thwart multiple American and British plans that were preparing to carry out large-scale aggressive operations against Yemen, and were targeted before they began, and all of this is thanks to God, His care, support and assistance, because we are in the right position, and our cause is just, and our demands are humane and legitimate, which is to stop the criminal Israeli aggression against the oppressed Palestinian people and lift the siege, which is a moral humanitarian demand agreed upon by all the peoples of the world."
He said, "In addition to its military aggression, the Americans have tried to impose political, economic and humanitarian pressures, and since the beginning of al-Aqsa flood, we have received many threats, but they have not and will not affect our position, God willing."
The President added, "We say to Netanyahu, your messages will not shake a hair in the smallest of our children, and the world has seen the people of faith and wisdom live on air, standing firm in the squares and not shaken or terrified by your raids, so spare yourself such messages, which you must think about from now, will you stand up to our messages, and the occupying Zionists, to say no to this reckless person, before he takes them to hell."
He explained that the Yemeni people, with their steadfastness in their religious, principled and humanitarian stance in supporting the Palestinian people, and their great and continuous weekly protests, and various mobilization activities and events, and their distinguished and frank media activity without tiring, boredom or stopping, recorded the greatest solidarity scene in the world.
President al-Mashat reiterated Yemen's firm stance alongside the people in Gaza and their just cause and clear injustice, until the Palestinian people obtain their full rights, and it is a firm stance that will not change or be affected no matter the pressures, threats and sacrifices.
He said, "We affirm that our position in supporting the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is a humanitarian and religious position that aims to stop the Israeli-American aggression against an oppressed and defenseless people, against whom the most heinous crimes unprecedented in history are being committed."
He added, "We are fully prepared and ready to defend Yemen, its people, interests and gains in the face of any aggression imposed on us. In this context, we commend the large popular mass demonstrations and general mobilization activities and call for their continuation with greater momentum."
His Excellency the President praised the positions of the countries that refused to participate in any hostile action against the Republic of Yemen, as well as the countries that refused to allow the American to launch an aggression against Yemen from their territories... warning against the consequences of any involvement by anyone in the aggression against our country.
The President also stressed that the position that America must and should still take is to stop the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, stop the horrific massacres and genocide against children, women and the elderly, lift the siege, and stop its aggression against the Republic of Yemen. This is the only solution to restore peace in the region.
President al-Mashat warned those involved in betraying the country against wasting the last opportunity, and addressed them by saying, "Review yourselves before you are dragged into serving the Israeli enemy against your countrymen, and thus you will reap shame, humiliation, defeat and a historical curse. The Zionist enemy is fleeting and you will find nothing from serving this enemy but scandal, shame and eternal disgrace. We affirm that we will not tolerate anyone who moves to serve the Israeli enemy and we will take strict measures against them, and we will enact the necessary legal procedures for that, God willing."
He congratulated the Government of Change and Construction for the important steps of the emergency exceptional salaries mechanism and the disbursement of deposits to small depositors, which were all a result of the aggression's measures against our country within the framework of its economic war on the Yemeni people.
The President praised the humanitarian steps taken by the Government of Change and Construction that touch the lives of the common citizen, urging more reforms and necessary measures in the path of radical change, integration and restructuring in a way that serves the interests and needs of the citizen.
President al-Mashat saluted the Yemeni people for their determination, insistence and steadfastness, which astonished the whole world. He said, "I assure our dear people that everything you hear or may hear in the future of the enemy's and its mercenaries' hopes and leaks will be nothing but wishful thinking. If the enemy is involved in any of that, we have options, God willing, that will force it to drag its tails of disappointment and defeat. Your brothers in the armed forces and security have prepared for every expected scenario what will thwart it before it begins, God willing."
He added, "I tell the enemy that we will continue to support our people in Gaza, and you will not deter us from our position no matter what you do. Our operations in support of Palestine will not be affected, God willing, no matter how you try to conspire here or escalate there. We have prepared for all possibilities."
