Al-Ezzi sends stern warning to US forces in Red Sea

SANAA, Aug 09 (YPA) – Deputy Foreign Minister Hussein Al-Ezzi in the Sana’a Government issued a stern warning to the US forces present in the Red Sea.

“The US forces must stay away from our territorial waters to ensure international peace, security and the safety of navigation in the Red Sea,” Al-Ezzi said in a tweet on Monday.

“Any approach to our territorial waters could mean the beginning of the longest and costliest battle in human history,” he added.

حرصاً على السلم والأمن الدوليين والحفاظ على سلامة الملاحة في البحر الأحمر يتوجب على القوات الأمريكية أن تبتعد عن مياهنا الإقليمية لأن أي إقتراب ( فقط مجرد إقتراب) قد يعني بداية المعركة الأطول والأكثر كلفة في التاريخ البشري .
