Al-Houthi confirms US, UK want to close Suez Canal

SANAA, Jan. 16 (YPA) – Member of the Supreme Political Council in Sanaa, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, confirmed on Tuesday that America and Britain want to close the Suez Canal through their intimidation and warnings to ships not to pass through Bab al-Mandab.

“The Americans and the British want to show the world that there is a great danger even though they are the ones responsible for it,” Al-Houthi added in an interview with Russia Today TV. “The past period had proven that there was no danger to all ships.”

“The operations of the Yemeni armed forces only target ships linked to Israel and that maritime navigation is safe,” Al-Houthi reiterated.
