The missile strike that targeted, on Monday, June 8, sensitive sites in occupied Jaffa, was not only a military response, but rather represented a strategic message from the Yemeni armed forces confirming the solidity of the “unity of the arenas” equation. After the Israeli enemy’s bombing of the southern suburb of Beirut, the fulfillment of the promise came quickly and decisively from the axis of resistance, establishing the fact that Yemeni support represents a fundamental pillar in breaking the enemy’s calculations, with a clear language of deterrence that only accepts a reciprocal response.
The military spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Yahya Saree, announced a complete ban on Israeli navigation in the Red Sea, hours after the Israeli enemy bombed the southern suburb of Beirut.
He stated, in a statement, that “the movements of the Israeli enemy have become a military target for our armed forces from the moment this statement was announced.”
Sarie stressed that Yemen will face “escalation with escalation,” and that its military operations “will escalate in keeping with the events.”
Prohibiting the passage of “Israeli” ships exclusively
In this context, Abdullah Al-Naimi, a member of the Political Bureau of Ansar Allah in Yemen, explained that the Yemeni armed forces did not close the Bab al-Mandab Strait, but rather announced their ban on the passage of exclusively Israeli ships, which will be military targets for the Yemeni forces, not international shipping traffic.
Al-Naimi confirmed to LBCI channel, “The United States is still able to pass through the region, and has not yet issued anything that would require taking measures against it in this file.”
He pointed out that the maritime embargo imposed on Israel is not limited to Bab al-Mandab, but includes the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
He said: “The ban on Israeli ships was imposed during the war, and the ban was lifted when the truce took effect, but this step led to the complete closure of the port of Eilat and caused major economic losses to Israel.”
He announced that Yemen has additional escalation cards that have not yet been used, and that they will be used gradually according to the level of Israeli escalation.
Al-Naimi said: “If Israel continues to target Beirut and the Lebanese people, the Yemeni armed forces will continue their operations, and will continue to impose a ban on Israeli navigation even if Iranian operations stop.”
The Axis of Resistance activates the “Areas Unit.”“
The Iranian response to the targeting of the southern suburb of Beirut came quickly, and was followed by a Yemeni missile attack. The Yemeni armed forces announced their immediate entry into the Battle of Unity of Squares to support Lebanon, Palestine, Iran and the axis, and announced the closure of Bab al-Mandab to Israeli navigation.
The Yemeni operations accompanying the Iranian operations met with broad Yemeni popular satisfaction and support as a tribute to the blood of the martyrs and a real deterrent to the Zionist criminal entity.
The Palestinian “Mujahideen”: an extension of the original Yemeni position
The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement blessed the Yemeni Armed Forces’ announcement of a ban on navigation for the Zionist enemy in the Red Sea, as well as the heroic operations it carried out in support of the oppressed of our nation and in challenge to Zionist and American arrogance.
The movement said in a statement that the Yemeni response, which intersects with the blessed Iranian response, is an extension of the authentic Yemeni position that has supported the Palestinian people since the beginning of the unjust Zionist war against them.
The movement added: “As we praise the blessed Iranian and Yemeni response, we affirm that the true unity of the nation is embodied in these moments in the arenas of jihad and resistance, and that efforts must be combined to confront the Zionist-American project in the region.”
Yemeni support…a supportive Arab-Islamic position
For its part, Lebanese Hezbollah praised the Yemeni response within the framework of the axis of resistance.
The party said that the commendable support from the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen comes within the framework of joint action to deter the Zionist entity and make the American administration understand that its support for the Zionist aggression against our country will destroy all the agreements it seeks.
The party stressed, “The Iranian response came to confirm that the interest of the stability of the region and its countries is to make every effort so that the agreements are preserved and that the Zionist enemy adheres to them before anyone else. This is the message that Iran wanted to send clearly and strongly to all those concerned with efforts to support stability in our region.”
The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” also praised the Iranian and Yemeni responses to the Israeli enemy, considering that they come in the context of confronting the ongoing Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the region.
The movement said, in a press statement, that stopping the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as against Lebanon, has become an urgent priority that requires an urgent regional and international effort, stressing that “Israeli” policies represent the main source of tension in the region and its dangerous repercussions.
Earlier, the official in charge of Arab and international relations in the Lebanese Hezbollah, Ammar Al-Musawi, confirmed that the Yemeni people demonstrated in their jihad path under the leadership of His Eminence Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi a firm determination and strong faith in defending the land of our fathers and grandfathers, national dignity, and national and Islamic affiliation, presenting a shining example of jihad and sacrifice.
This came in a letter sent by Hezbollah’s international relations official to Deputy Foreign Minister Abdel Wahed Abu Ras, in response to the letter Abu Ras sent in support of the resistance and the Lebanese people.
The Yemeni support will remain open until the enemy commits
A member of the Ansar Allah movement’s political bureau, Muhammad al-Farah, considered that “Yemen’s decision to close Bab al-Mandab to navigation linked to the Israeli enemy is an expression of political and strategic will that confirms that Yemen is present in the battle to defend the nation.”
Al-Farah noted, in a post on the “X” platform, that “employing this strategic paper to serve the nation’s issues and the interests of the Yemeni people confirms to everyone that the security of the sea lanes is no longer an exclusive right of America, the Israeli enemy, and their agents in the region, but rather has become a national decision that falls within the framework of imposing Yemeni sovereignty over the strategic strait.”
Momentum and effectiveness of the “unit squares” equation
In the same context, writer Dirar Al-Tayeb said, on the Yemeni Al-Khabar website, that “Yemen’s involvement in the escalation, on Monday morning, constituted an additional surprise, as the Yemeni armed forces launched a missile attack on sensitive targets in occupied Jaffa, and also announced the re-imposition of a complete naval blockade on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea.”
He considered that “this intervention gave more momentum and effectiveness to the “unity of arenas” equation, which represented the main title of the recent regional explosion, as the Yemeni move strengthened the position led by Iran, which is that any escalation and collapse of the ceasefire on one front will include the entire region, and there is no doubt that this reinforces the Americans’ fears of sliding into a large-scale escalation.”
The speed of the Yemeni intervention this time was striking, and, according to Al-Tayeb, it reflected the existence of broad coordination between the parties of the resistance axis, and advance planning to take the initiative regionally in the face of any escalation, which made “Israel’s” position much worse. While the Israeli reports were talking about the difference in viewpoints between Netanyahu and Trump, the resistance axis showed great cohesion and a high willingness to deal with developments.
He continued, “Global fears about the spread of unrest into the Bab al-Mandab Strait during the previous round were clear, and now there is an effective ban on Israeli navigation. The British maritime security company (Embry) has announced that ships linked to Israel in terms of ownership, management, or port visits now face high risks when crossing the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.”
Influential pressure papers against “the forces of arrogance”
For his part, Advisor to the Yemeni Prime Minister, Hamid Abdul Qadir Antar, confirmed that Iran and the forces allied with it in the region possess effective pressure cards against the “powers of arrogance,” noting that the current regional developments represent a pivotal stage in the course of the conflict in the region.
Antar said in a statement to the Iraqi Al-Maalouma Agency, “Iran, Hezbollah, and the Iraqi and Yemeni resistance are adopting an approach based on the principles of sacrifice and steadfastness inspired by the revolution of Imam Hussein, and believe that the current stage represents a battle for existence and a fateful confrontation.”
He added, “There is a conviction among the axis powers that the region is on the verge of major transformations that will be reflected in the regional balance of power,” pointing out that “Iran and Yemen possess important pressure cards that can be used to confront the current challenges.”
He pointed out that “these forces believe in their ability to impose new equations in the region through continued political, military and economic pressure.”
He stressed that “the current developments will reveal during the next stage the extent of the influence that the parties to the conflict have in shaping the future of the region.”
