Sana'a - Saba:
In a pivotal address before the National Defense Council, His Excellency Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Chairman of the Supreme Political Council, clearly outlined the defining features of the current phase—emphasizing that Yemen is waging a decisive battle that transcends conventional retaliation, striking at the core of the American-Zionist project in the region.
His speech carried the tone of a victor, exuding unwavering confidence and reinforcing the collective understanding that the Red Sea confrontation is not an isolated issue but a natural extension of the struggle for sovereignty, moral responsibility, and justice for oppressed Palestine.
President Al-Mashat did not speak defensively but in the language of action and initiative, declaring that all enemy gambits have failed—their propaganda, military, and political tools backfiring. He stressed that U.S. airstrikes and aggression have had "zero percent impact" on the ground.
The first message was unequivocal: Yemen does not negotiate over dignity, nor does it yield to blackmail. As long as the aggression against Gaza persists, the battle remains open on all fronts—no truce before the assault ends, no calm until the siege on Palestine is lifted.
Al-Mashat unveiled strategic military outcomes marking a shift in deterrence, most notably the disabling of the U.S. aircraft carrier Truman—a testament to Yemen’s successful strikes in moving beyond threats to crippling the very nerve of American power.
He dismissed U.S. maneuvers in the Red Sea as a "failed spectacle," a desperate attempt to boost the collapsing morale of the Zionist entity after its humiliating defeat in Gaza. Washington, he asserted, is fighting on behalf of Israel but sinking deeper into the same quagmire.
Al-Mashat reiterated that Yemen fights solely in solidarity with Gaza, warning that those who expect Sana’a to retreat or compromise misunderstand this nation’s resolve. Yemen’s political and military compass, he declared, is fixed on the holiest cause on earth.
With unshakable conviction, he dismissed U.S. aggression as "futile," emphasizing that Yemen is not alone but part of an expanding Axis of Resistance—stretching from sea to land, from Sana’a to Gaza, Tehran, Beirut, and Baghdad.
Yemen, he affirmed, manages its battle with self-reliance and steadfast ideology, taking no orders from external forces. "Our sovereignty is non-negotiable; decisions are made not in embassy halls but in the halls of dignity and resilience."
He debunked enemy propaganda about Yemen’s losses as baseless lies, highlighting the unbreakable unity of the home front and the people’s imperviousness to fracture or infiltration.
In a solemn warning, Al-Mashat delivered a stark message to potential betrayers: "To those tempted by weakness, know this: A great victory nears, and God will separate the corrupt from the pure." He urged moral fortitude, calling this phase "the tremors before triumph."
He praised Yemen’s security forces for thwarting U.S.-led infiltration and recruitment plots, vowing severe consequences for traitors. The enemy, he noted, faces crippling intelligence failures, unable to predict Yemen’s strikes as its forces operate proactively—not reactively—upending Washington, London, and Tel Aviv’s calculations.
The President hailed rapid advancements in military manufacturing and the precision of Yemen’s naval and aerial operations, proving the nation is no longer under siege but a formidable force in Red Sea and Aden Gulf equations.
"This battle is not merely about ports and ships," he stated, "but identity, independence, and sovereignty. Yemen has chosen to lead the free, regardless of sacrifices or the scale of media, military, and political targeting."
Highlighting Yemen’s ethical stance, Al-Mashat stressed that all operations comply with international law, exclusively targeting military vessels and exposing U.S. hypocrisy over "freedom of navigation."
He commended Iran’s model of resisting hegemony, noting Tehran’s principled positions strengthen the Axis of Resistance and intensify pressure on the Zionist enemy and its regional allies.
"The era of absolute American dominance is over," Al-Mashat declared. "Those betting on Washington’s unchecked power in the Middle East are deluded. The battlefield writes a new reality daily."
The speech honored Sayyed Leader Abdulmalik Al-Houthi’s visionary and steady leadership, which turned aggression into an opportunity to fortify national unity and defensive capabilities.
Al-Mashat expressed full confidence in the Yemeni people’s awareness and resilience, acknowledging scholars and society’s role in sustaining steadfastness. He called for heightened readiness against future escalation.
Concluding, he proclaimed: "Yemen did not start this war, but it will end it. Palestine’s voice will not be silenced as long as this nation breathes. No compromise on principles, no coexistence with occupiers, no calm paid for by Palestinian blood."
Thus spoke the President from the heart of Sana’a—not with diplomacy, but with the certainty of one who sees victory nearer than ever, convinced that no just cause is defeated, even if the world stands united against it.
