Houthi senior official Muhammad Taher An'am warned Thursday that the group will respond 'resolutely' against US ships and interests if the United States attacks Yemen, and will continue targeting Saudi interests as long as the blockade on Yemen is not lifted. He also said the Houthis will not hesitate to strike any country that cooperates with Saudi Arabia.
The statement comes amid heightened tensions between the Houthis and the US-led coalition. The Zioneer has previously reported on Houthi warnings against US aggression and threats to Saudi infrastructure. The Houthis have repeatedly conditioned a halt to their operations on the lifting of the Saudi-American blockade on Yemen. The latest threat was issued by Taher An'am, a senior official in the group's political council.
