The President confirmed that the Presidential Leadership Council and the government are committed to reach a comprehensive solution to the crisis according to the agreed terms of peace.
He recalled the peace efforts blocked by the terrorist militias including the declaration of the UN-brokered truce through which the Houthi militias proved that they aren’t a truly peace partner.

He confirmed that the government does reserve its right to respond to these violations which are backed by the Iranian regime.
He said” The escalation by the Houthis militias has proved to what extent these militias are manipulated by the Iranian regime whose operations in the region are orchestrated by Revolutionary Guards from one single black room”.
The President pointed out to the government’s measures intended to deter the Houthis’ terrorist violations of the International Law in pursuant to the National Defense Council’s resolution about designating the Houthis militias as a “Terrorist Group”.
He reassured the humanitarian actions organizations that the government has taken into account that humanitarian and relief interventions will not be affected all over the country.
