The Houthis in Yemen have threatened to escalate their military operations if the US and Israel resume their attacks on Iran.
"WE WILL RESPOND ACTIVELY AND WITH INCREASING MILITARY OPERATIONS"
According to a report by the Houthi-controlled news agency SABA, a statement from the Foreign Ministry of the so-called government affiliated with the Houthis claimed that the Iranian delegation's stance, referring to the negotiations being held in Islamabad, Pakistan, was a new gain for the resistance axis.
The statement indicated that what the US is trying to impose at the negotiation table is what it could not achieve on the ground, noting that Yemen would respond "actively and with increasing military operations" if Washington and Tel Aviv resume their attacks.
THEY REFERRED TO THE BAB AL-MANDEB STRAIT
The statement warned that a possible new escalation in the region would have effects not only militarily but also on the global economy, particularly posing risks in terms of energy prices and supply chains.
The statement pointed to the recent increase in regional tensions, indicating that the Houthis had engaged in conflicts in March to support Iran, and that this situation could affect maritime traffic along the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
US-IRAN NEGOTIATIONS
US Vice President JD Vance announced that the direct negotiations with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, ended "without reaching an agreement." Iranian media suggested that the reason for the failure to reach a common framework and agreement in the Tehran-Washington talks in Islamabad was the excessive demands of the US.
