Al-Houthi denies US claims on seizing ship carrying Iranian missiles parts to Yemen

SANAA, Dec. 7 (YPA) – The Supreme Political Council’s Member Mohammed Ali al-Houthi on Saturday denied the allegations that the US Navy seized a ship carrying Iranian missiles parts to Yemen, saying they are baseless.

“While the aggressors are surrounding Yemeni ports and do not let entry of ships carrying oil or medicine, how is it possible to carry missile parts to Yemen,” Al-Masirah TV Channel website quoted al-Houthi as saying.

Al-Houthi also referred to the arms sales of the United States to the aggressors, namely the Saudi-led coalition, adding that “the new US arms sales to Saudis are not going to help them to succeed against Yemeni forces.”

He called on Saudi Arabia and the UAE to end their aggression and blockade on Yemen otherwise the Yemenis are capable of carrying out more missile and drone attacks on them.

The Political Council member also condemned the new US sanctions on Iraqi individuals affiliated with “the Resistance Front”, noting that “the US is committing terrorism against Yemeni people by carrying out a siege on them and now on the Iraqi people.”
