Iran Key Player in Redrawing Region’s Future; Yemen Forces Western Surrender
Mehr News Agency, International Desk: Najiba Mohammed Motahar, advisor to the Yemeni Presidential Office, spoke with Mehr news Agency reporter Varda Saad about recent developments in Yemen, particularly regarding support for Gaza. Below is the full transcript of this interview.
In recent weeks, Yemeni armed forces have intensified operations against the Israeli regime. What explains this escalation?
The scale of Israeli occupation crimes-destroying homes, displacing Palestinians, and restricting Islamic holy sites-has significantly increased. The international and Arab-Islamic silence and submission on these issues are deeply condemnable.
Yemeni forces have continued attacks against Israeli and Israel-linked vessels over recent weeks. These operations also included supersonic missile strikes and drone attacks targeting sites in Jaffa, negev Desert, and Eilat (Umm al-Rashrash). A precise military operation targeted commercial ships violating IsraelS maritime ban, resulting in the renewed closure of Eilat port.
this tension indicates that Yemen does not limit itself to media support for Gaza but enforces its words on the battlefield despite its own ongoing war and imposed siege.
Why does Sanaa always manage to surprise militarily-in terms of means, strategies, or targeted locations?
Seyyed Abdul Malik Badreddin’s speech sheds light on this along with an analysis of Western reactions and strategic outcomes:
Seyyed abdul malik al-Houthi referred to extensive israeli crimes in Gaza alongside humiliating Arab-Islamic-international responses to these aggressions. He stressed Yemen’s steadfast position supporting Palestine amid war and blockade. Last week alone witnessed 11 military operations targeting various points across occupied Palestinian territories.
He emphasized two ships linked to companies violating decisions banning maritime interactions with Israeli ports were attacked-the incident that caused Eilat port’s reclosure.
Yemen refuses cooperation with any decision contrary to its resolutions.
The popular Yemeni national discourse revealed widespread grassroots mobilization supporting Gaza-over 1,200 marches took place last week nationwide reflecting deep faith-based solidarity despite economic sanctions and political pressures.
Internationally, there is a clear contradiction between Western positions and those of the UN; while ignoring Israeli occupation crimes on one side,
they launch broad media campaigns criticizing Yemen’s attacks on embargo-violating ships.
western narratives here are more than mere media responses-they reflect strategic recalculations linked directly to their national security and economic interests.
Currently Yemen poses a meaningful threat to Israel through naval military actions culminating in sinking two vessels “Magic Seas” and ”Internati C” after rejecting demands related to forbidding dealings with Israel.
This occurred while Western countries or UN envoy Hans Grundberg remained silent towards Israeli aggression but swiftly condemned Yemeni operations-revealing their evident impotence vis-à-vis Israel.
This outlook shows Yemeni naval strikes operate within firm deterrence policies protecting their maritime restrictions against any collaboration involving Israel.
This policy excludes ordinary commercial vessels lacking ties with tel Aviv; intelligence reports confirm these two targeted ships had direct dealings with Israeli ports.
Conversely,
Western powers claim such challenges threaten international navigation used as pretexts for reinforcing military presence in strategic zones like Red Sea or Strait of Hormuz.
They argue these measures encourage forming US-NATO-led coalitions boosting pressure through sanctions,
media campaigns-and possibly limited military actions ahead.
If tensions continue,
the West may be forced either seek alternative maritime routes or invest more heavily in land transit options such as Central Asian railways,
escalating diplomatic-economic pressure along shipping lanes increasing insurance costs sharply-wich adversely impacts free navigation indirectly via higher expenses imposed on states involved.
Affected governments may choose strengthening naval capabilities increasing confrontation risks among Western blocs versus other global players including Russia & China plus Resistance Axis factions which could spark broader maritime conflicts.
Without parallel political agreements, expanding Western military footprints# would heighten dangers exponentially.
