A high-ranking member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council says Saudi Arabia’s decision to form an international coalition and militarize the Red Sea will not safeguard shipping in the waterway.

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces says the country’s military units have targeted oil depots and pipelines deep inside Saudi Arabia.

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Quds Force demands that Saudi Arabia remove the nearly 12-year-long blockade on Yemen.

President of Yemen's Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat describes Saudi Arabia’s halt to blockade and aggression as the sole way to end fighting and establish peace.

Yemen threatens to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait if Saudi Arabia continues to hit the Arab nation’s vital infrastructure, warning that the cost of a barrel of oil could reach $200 in such a case.

The Yemeni foreign ministry has explicitly warned Saudi Arabia against any attempts to re-impose a siege on the country, or conduct a military offensive against it.

In a direct message to the Saudi leadership, the Foreign Ministry warned of catastrophic consequences for the kingdom if it commits any “folly.”
