Yemen Warns of ‘Unexpected Surprises’ for Enemies in Coming Days

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Yemen’s defense minister issued a stark warning to the United States, Britain, and Israel, threatening severe repercussions for recent strikes and vowing that Yemen will deliver "unexpected surprises" in the coming days.

Major General Mohammad al-Atifi, Yemen’s defense minister, made these remarks on Saturday during an address marking the birthday of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

He warned that future responses would be “harsher and more severe” than any previous confrontation.

Al-Atifi noted that the enemies had already experienced setbacks at sea, suggesting that similar operations could be carried out on land.

"Our maritime operations have caused defeats for the enemies, and this could be repeated in ground offensives," he said.

Al-Atifi also referenced Israel’s airstrikes on the Red Sea port city of Hudaydah on July 20, stating that Yemen’s retaliation would be a "nightmare" and would severely jeopardize Israeli security.

He cautioned, "The coming days will hold surprises the enemy could never expect or imagine."

Al-Atifi reaffirmed that Yemen's armed forces would respond "with an iron fist" to any further acts of aggression, vowing that enemies would regret escalating the conflict.

He emphasized that the Yemeni army remained resolute in defending the nation and its sacred sites.

The Yemeni government has also openly declared its support for Palestine's struggle against Israeli occupation, following the regime's devastating war on Gaza that began on October 7 of last year, killing more than 41,000 Palestinians to date.

The Yemeni Armed Forces have pledged to continue their attacks until Israel halts its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza.

The genocidal Israeli in Gaza intensified after Palestinian resistance groups launched a surprise attack, on the occupied territories.

Israel has imposed a near-total blockade on Gaza, drastically limiting the entry of food, medicine, electricity, and water.

Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement, stated that confronting the United States directly was "a great honor and blessing."

The heightened conflict has disrupted global shipping, with major oil and shipping companies rerouting vessels around Africa instead of using the Suez Canal.
