US Secures Ceasefire Agreement with Iran Following Setback: Houthi Sources Report
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, has asserted that the United States entered into a ceasefire with Iran due to necessity. He emphasized that Washington's decision was compelled by the defeat of the US-Israeli military coalition in its campaign against the Islamic Republic.
Al-Houthi announced that adversaries were compelled into a ceasefire following substantial casualties, including hundreds of soldiers killed and injured. He further claimed that the opposing forces experienced notable losses concerning military equipment, alongside the destruction of American bases in the region, during a televised statement on Thursday.
He stated that the ongoing scenario represents a significant clash between the forces aligned with Islam, Jihad, and Resistance, and those adversaries targeting the region.
According to al-Houthi, on the fortieth day of the Iran conflict, a two-week ceasefire mediated by Pakistan commenced. However, negotiations between American and Iranian representatives in Islamabad did not achieve an agreement, as the U.S. delegation reportedly imposed excessive demands and frequently altered their objectives.
The Yemeni leader highlighted that one of the main goals of the conflict with Iran, which commenced on February 28, is the toppling of the Islamic regime. He emphasized that the adversaries seek to dismantle the Islamic Republic and its role in challenging Zionist ambitions and supporting regional populations.
Al-Houthi reported that U.S. forces suffered significant losses, with numerous aircraft destroyed amid their aggressive actions. The losses reportedly included fighter jets, transport planes, refueling aircraft, and early warning systems, among others.
The American adversary faced economic setbacks, including substantial expenses from direct warfare, dwindling military stockpiles, and the necessity for aircraft maintenance, he added.
A Yemeni leader has asserted that the United States and Israel lack any justification for their aggressive military actions against Iran. He cautioned that such a comprehensive military offensive poses a threat to regional security and stability, with potential implications for global stability as well.
Al-Houthi stated that this act of aggression is widely acknowledged as a Zionist move harboring malicious and hostile objectives, targeting the Arab and Islamic region without any legitimate justification.
In other parts of his speech, the Yemeni leader highlighted that the unprovoked and unlawful nature of the conflict led many European nations and even NATO to abstain from participation, whereas some Persian Gulf Arab states contributed to the aggression.
He stated that certain Arab governments have engaged by allowing their airspace and territories to be used and by offering various types of support and contributions to an offensive aimed at the region.
Amidst growing concerns over the potential repercussions of the conflict on the global economy, several European nations have come to recognize the adverse effects it may have. Al-Houthi asserted that, due to these considerations, they have concluded it is not beneficial for their countries to engage in the situation.
He characterized the American and Israeli forces as anomalies that have entered the region and, through actions described as evil, tyrannical, and criminal, pose a threat to the security and stability of the area.
Al-Houthi emphasized the enduring resilience and determination of the region’s people, asserting that no force can remove them from their lands in favor of those driven by aggression, occupation, plunder, and domination.
Earlier this month, reports indicated that the Yemeni front engaged in collaborative operations with the Resistance Axis. These operations included conducting missile and drone strikes targeting Israeli adversaries and thwarting Israeli and American military utilization of the Red Sea in actions perceived as hostile against Iran.
