Attacks on Yemen: Sana'a Says UK, US Will 'Regret' Their 'Great' Mistake
The US and UK launched strikes against Yemeni military targets in retaliation for the country's attacks on Israeli-owned and -bound vessels in the Red Sea which came in support for the Palestinians in Gaza who are under relentless Israeli military attacks since October 7.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, has warned the US and UK that they will “regret” attacking Yemen, which he described as “the greatest folly in their history”.
In posts on social media, al-Bukhaiti said London and Washington had made “a mistake” in launching a war on Yemen, Al Jazeera reported.
The world, he said, was now witnessing a “unique war” in which those supporting “right and those who are wrong” can be clearly identified.
“The goal of one of its parties is to stop the crimes of genocide in Gaza, represented by Yemen, while the goal of the other party is to support and protect its perpetrators, represented by America and Britain,” al-Bukhaiti said.
“Every individual in this world is faced with two choices that have no third: Either to stand with the victims of genocide or to stand with its perpetrators,” he said.
Houthi fighters in Yemen have for months launched drones and missiles at shipping in the Red Sea which is said to be connected to Israel, in a show of support for Palestinians amid Israel’s destruction of Gaza and its people.
