Sanaa warns of Emirati efforts to target ships in Red Sea, Arab Sea

SANAA, Feb. 15 (YPA) – Spokesperson for the Caretaker government in Sanaa, Dhaifullah Al-Shami, revealed on Wednesday that Yemeni Naval Forces have conducted 34 operations since the Al-Aqsa Storm, targeting 14 American, 3 British, and 17 Israeli ships.

This comes during his speech at a press conference on the Palestinian issue “Events, developments, and the Yemeni position.”

Al-Shami emphasized that military actions in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea exclusively target Israeli, American, and British vessels, highlighting the US and Britain as the main military forces in the Red Sea, posing a threat to international navigation to safeguard Israeli shipping.

“We have information indicating the UAE is attempting to recruit mercenaries to target ships in the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea, aiming to disrupt the Yemeni position,” he also disclosed.

Regarding support for Gaza, he stated that attempts to intimidate or entice the Yemeni people have been unsuccessful.

Al-Shami further noted that the total number of American and British airstrikes and missile attacks on Yemen has reached 403, including 203 airstrikes.

In addition, Al-Shami highlighted that Yemeni Naval Forces have not recorded any Israeli ships in the Red Sea.

“We have banned the entry of 99 American goods and products into Yemen, along with companies supporting the criminal Zionist entity. We have canceled 354 agencies, closed 12 companies and 23 branches, and eliminated 3,227 American and Zionist trademarks,” he added.

Al-Shami reiterated Yemen’s legitimate right to respond to violations of its sovereignty using all available means and called on Arab and Islamic nations, as well as freedom-loving people worldwide, to initiate an economic boycott against the enemies of the nation.
