"In the context of confronting the American and Zionist aggression against the Axis of Resistance and resistance in Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, and rejecting the Zionist project aimed at establishing a ‘Greater Israel’ under the guise of the ‘New Middle East,’ and in an effort to break the unjust and oppressive siege imposed by the American enemy on our people and the free and proud nations of the axis in Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran, the Yemeni Armed Forces have launched a missile strike targeting sensitive Israeli objectives in the occupied region of Jaffa, and thanks to God, they have successfully achieved their objectives.

In this context, the Armed Forces emphasize the following:

Firstly, we announce a complete and total naval blockade against the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements a military target for our armed forces from the moment of this statement’s announcement.

Secondly, we confirm that we will confront escalation with escalation, and that our military operations will intensify in line with the events, the battle, and our participation in the axis of jihad and resistance.

Thirdly, we affirm the right of our people and the free nations of our nation to confront the American-Israeli aggression, and that we will not stand idly by in the face of the unjust siege on our people and the nations of the axis of resistance in Palestine, Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq. All enemy attempts will fail by God’s permission, and our operations will continue as long as the aggression and siege against us and the axis of resistance continues."
