SANA’A (Dispatches) – Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has issued a stern warning against further United States-backed Israeli military aggression against the Gaza Strip, pledging the Arab Peninsula country’s readiness to escalate actions against U.S. interests in the region.
Hazem al-Asad, a member of Ansarullah’s Political Bureau, asserted that the movement was “prepared to engage in a comprehensive war targeting U.S. interests in the region” if the aggression persisted.
He cautioned the United States against supporting or protecting the regime in its assaults on Gaza or any aggression towards Yemen.
Echoing the stance, Nasr al-Din Amir, another high-ranking Ansarullah official, has said, “Eyes are watching Gaza, and fingers are on the trigger.”
He emphasized that the Yemeni Armed Forces’ missiles, drones, and all military units were in full readiness, asserting, “We have proven ourselves in previous tests.”
Amir was referring to unrelenting strikes by the forces against sensitive Israeli and American targets across the West Asia region as well as Israeli ships or the vessels taking supplies to the occupied Palestinian territories following the onset of the Israeli regime’s war of genocide against Gaza in October 2023. 
Responding to the operations, the U.S., the UK, and the regime have brought Yemen, including its lifeline western port city of al-Hudaydah as well as its civilian and defensive infrastructure elsewhere, under deadly attacks.
Zionist prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has affirmed that his regime would continue to attack Yemen, citing the threat it poses to Tel Aviv’s maritime supply sources.
He has also emphasized cooperation with the United States, assuring that the regime would act with “strength, determination, and sophistication” against the already impoverished nation.
Yemen, however, dialed down its strikes after conclusion of a ceasefire agreement expected to end the Israeli war, which took effect in January.
The regime, though, has been routinely violating the deal, killing more Palestinians in addition to the over 48,000 ones that it has slain throughout the war, most of whom being women and children. 
Reacting to the contraventions, Ansarullah’s leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi also recently warned that if the atrocities continued, “all occupied territories will come under fire,” including the regime’s economic hub of Tel Aviv.
