Ansarullah Declares Bab al-Mandab Security a Historic Yemeni Victory, Saudi Setback

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Hazam Al-Assad, a senior member of Yemen‘s Ansarullah movement, stated that the securing of the Bab al-Mandab strait and the mountainous, desert, and coastal regions around it by Yemeni armed forces represents a historic victory for the nation. He emphasized that this action is a strategic step towards enhancing the security and safety of international shipping and a setback for the plans of the Saudi Arabian regime and its supporters in their aggression against the Yemeni people.

Al-Assad added that these plans were pursued with the aim of dominating Yemen, its resources, and its capacities, as well as its strategic position. Earlier, Dhaifallah Al-Shami, a member of the Ansarullah movement’s political bureau, announced that the strategic Bab al-Mandab region has been fully secured following a heavy and decisive defeat of the enemy. Al-Shami underscored that recent developments indicate a shift in regional equations and the failure of the opposing side to achieve its objectives.

Bab al-Mandab, one of the world’s critical trade arteries, has become a focal point of regional tension in recent months, coinciding with the conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran. Yemeni armed forces have taken on a more active role in developments in the Red Sea and in confronting the American-Israeli axis amid escalating confrontations.
