His Excellency President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, President of the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC), has renewed his warning to the Houthi terrorist militias against continuing their escalation and gambling with the interests of the Yemeni people in service of the Iranian regime’s agenda.

The President confirmed that persisting in this destructive course would only further drain the country’s remaining resources and would not alter the Yemeni people’s determination to end the coup and restore state institutions.

In a series of posts on the social media platform X on Saturday, President Al-Alimi affirmed that the Yemeni government would continue working closely with the Coalition to Support Legitimacy and its international partners to firmly deter threats. He said the joint efforts would also aim to protect international waterways and combat terrorism, smuggling, and organized crime.

He said these efforts constituted both a national responsibility and a steadfast commitment to Yemen’s security, regional stability, and the protection of international peace and security.

“The Houthi militias and their backers insist, whenever an opportunity for de-escalation emerges, on dragging the country into successive crises,” President Al-Alimi said. “They ignore the fact that the Yemeni people’s will and their aspirations for statehood, dignity, security, and stability are not bargaining chips and never will be.”

He added that the group’s continued escalation would only prolong the suffering and squander what remains of the country’s resources.

The President stressed that the Yemeni people would remain firmly committed to restoring state institutions and extending their authority across the entire national territory. He said the militias has no option but to accept these realities.
