Houthi leader threatens Saudi oil sites – Shafaq News | Latest breaking news in Iraq and the world

Shafaq News- Sanaa

Yemen’s Ansarullah movement (Houthis) leader Abdul-Malik
al-Houthi threatened on Thursday to target Saudi oil facilities and vital
infrastructure with missiles and drones if Riyadh becomes involved in an “aggression
against Yemen.”

In a speech addressing recent developments in Yemen and the
region, al-Houthi reiterated his rejection of the continued blockade of ports
and airports and restrictions on the movement of goods and passengers by Saudi
Arabia. “The real equation today is Sanaa airport for Riyadh airport,
airports for airports, ports for ports, and blockade for blockade.”

He accused Riyadh of launching a “comprehensive
aggression” against Yemen instead of supporting de-escalation efforts,
saying the campaign was carried out under US supervision, with British
involvement and Israeli support.

“The period of de-escalation had not produced any clear
progress on humanitarian issues.”

The Houthi leader also claimed that “joint cells”
were operating directly between Saudi Arabia and Britain, and between Saudi
Arabia and the United States. Alleging that Israeli aircraft had used Saudi
airports for reconnaissance and surveillance missions over Yemeni airspace, he called
this action “a betrayal of the neighborhood and unjust aggression.”

Al-Houthi thanked Iran for “its assistance in helping Yemen break
the unjust blockade on its airports,” accusing Saudi Arabia of attacking Sanaa
International Airport without justification. “Yemen had not taken any action
against Riyadh to warrant such attacks.”

According to the Houthis, Saudi Arabia previously carried
out strikes on Sanaa airport targeting its runways and damaging airport
facilities, prompting a response by launching ballistic missiles and drones at
Abha International Airport in southern Saudi Arabia.
